Pin D10 tied to a high. Seen that, got my soldering people fix that.
I'm very curious how you figured that out from the screen shot?
Every value is off by the same amount
They're a fucking wizard that one.
Na, I just know how these things tick. I've written a RAM test for my system, and had to diagnose to one or other production error in my lifetime.
I feel like a surprising number of people struggle with the meaning of "mildly"...
They always have
DDR3 was really hard to find the last time I went shopping for RAM.
I bet you can get at least another 5 more years out of that computer.
This is actually a new build I just made with a Libreboot motherboard. I'm trying to turn it into a gaming computer, it ran GTA V at 70-80FPS, all high settings, at 1440p. It was working flawlessly, and for some reason now its not I suppose due to the RAM.
But even with this RAM, in the beginning it was working just fine until yesterday I started noticing more stuttering. Vulkan shaders might be interfering, but I did enable them to process in the background and to save the cache but nope, still stuttering.
I was hoping to do a benchmark video for people tonight but I'll have to wait until later next week.
Cool. You might check and double check the RAM timings. My machine did not like to run at 1600.
Looks like there's actually a stuck bit in those memory values. Might be more than just an unstable clock.
I really only know enough about hardware to get by. I am working through nand2tetris though.
Now this sounds interesting what motherboard did u use might do something like this myself
There's 2233 DDR3 vs. 1164 DDR5 RAM on Galaxus (Swiss shop platform). Can't be that hard.
The last time I was shopping for RAM was in 2020. I think the supply chain was probably all jacked up from COVID.
I paid $55 for 2ea. 8GB sticks. The price now is $24: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAY0S08/ref=pe_861660_435879970_fxm_4_0_n_id
Well that's really not a surprise since it is old hardware. I would go for something newer as that machine is a space heater. You can pickup used mini PCs or workstations with newer CPUs in them.
Well, this build is specifically for gaming with Libreboot so due to the limitations with the motherboard I'm stuck using the Xeon processor. Its not bad tbh runs everything well.
Assuming you're in the northern hemisphere: For this winter it's fine. It'll gently heat your home while you game like it's 1999. No worries 😁
However, once it starts to warm up you'll want to send that motherboard+RAM+CPU to your local HAZMAT trash pickup/facility and get something newer. Might I suggest a nice 2020-ish desktop CPU? With a motherboard that supports Coreboot, of course!

...and get yourself a nice Nvidia (sadly, because AMD and Intel are still far behind) GPU with at least 12GB of VRAM so you can have fun with the open source AI stuff (it's a blast!). The more VRAM the better though so if you can pick up a 4060 Ti with 16GB cheap this spring that'll be your best budget buy (endless uncensored fun) 👍
Seriously: If you haven't got the hardware to run Stable Diffusion locally you're missing out! It's as fun and addicting as a really good game. Running it on some cloud service isn't the same because at best they'll be running stuff that's weeks or months out of date (which is like a million years in AI time) and they don't give you the same level of control/possibilities that you get when running your own stuff locally (run whatever models/LoRAs you want, whatever extensions you want, generating images without having to worry about overbearing censorship because it is that bad on public AI services--paid or not!).
Define "everything". Everything installed?
Can build a Sleeper PC with it.
Red means good, right? Right?
Friendly reminder to run memtest the whole night long and not just a couple of hours, in case the defect is intermittent (it has happened to me).
Oh I have not run the whole test yet, I will do that. Thank you for the advice!

DDR3 is a lot cheaper on Amazon.
The cost is having to support amazon though.
Yeah, it's not like making your life harder is going to kill Amazon, though. My lesbian co-worker and lesbian sister eat chik-fil-a sometimes for the same reason.
Hey, at least they tested it.
I remember testing ram by compiling the Linux kernel. It was so resource intensive that it tended to use every block of memory, so if I was getting weird crashes or something I would just run a kernel build and see if I needed better diagnostics.
I found out about 2 months ago I had a dead stick because of my Arch install. I kept having data integrity problems and thought my NVMe was dying. And then the other drive was having the same issues. I had reinstalled Arch so many times during this that I memorized ALL the steps from start to end. I really wish I had tested RAM earlier, but was so determined to believe it was the drives.
At least you have a lot more experience with installing Arch now. Might be usefull when you want to install it on other PC's.
Yeah, I'm not a novice to Linux in general, but it was my first time using Arch. Was testing it out after many years of admin of Ubuntu servers and then trying OpenSUSE for gaming. I don't think I could ever leave Arch now, it's just so easy to maintain and I finally get the hype.
What a creative way to test memory. nice :)
Never buy electronics or related stuff from ebay. Never.
Whoops
Rip
No, don't rip! Gently remove the bad RAM from the PC.
