Tell me more ×  Trying to diagnose random hardware freezes and
did the natural thing; started memtesting everything.  DDR400
DDR2 Ram CAS 5-5-5-18 Four sets of sticks; 2x2GB PNY's and 2x1GB
Elixirs  So far I've tested one of the Elixirs and one of the
PNY's, and both are failing at the same point (around 129MB) and
only failing on the Random Number Sequence test.  Am I missing
something? Is this normal failure? Is it a case of getting new
ram or throwing the Motherboard out?  I'm trying to get my hands
on another DDR2 machine to do comparative tests but thought I'd
ask anyway.  share|improve this question add comment  2 Answers

we started to get many ECC errors in the kernel logs. Even after
the whole the RAM set changed, the errors continued as we did
nothing to the server. At that point we concluded that memory
controllers fried and the motherboard swapped out.  This might
be the very case for you.  share|improve this answer +1 I was in
