Hello all.
Well, I've ran memtest a few times and to my dismay, it has had failures at the exact same point each time. I'm yet to do any other tests (taking one stick out and running memtest, swapping and running memtest etc) and I'm just curious, will running my machine with damaged memory (if it is the RAM stick, and not the motherboard) damage any other hardware components? As I need my machine at the moment and can't afford to send off my RAM just yet for a replacement.
Also, is there a possibility it could be the motherboard at fault or is it definitely the memory considering that it fails at the exact same point each time? I mean, the bus could be damaged on the motherboard for example, but surely this would cause random curruption of data etc rather then the one error at the same point?
Best regards,
