I am about to convert a Windows Server 2019 to Unraid. The this kernel panic appear during startup.

I tested 3 different USB sticks in 3 different USB ports 

 

When running memtest this comes up. It it a small error, big error? And likely to cause the panic? Note that the server is running Windows Server 2019 on daily basis. Any thought will be appreciated.

Any error can be fatal.

You must suspect any file that touches a system with bad RAM, as it's practically impossible to know whether or not it has been silently corrupted.

And probably bluescreening or having weird crashes etc

That's the best case scenario. If windows appears to run flawlessly with bad RAM, it's likely that there is file corruption happening silently in the background.

 

It's much better for the system to halt at the first sign of trouble than to run like nothing is wrong while mangling your data. I'm convinced 99% of the reports of silent bit rot on otherwise healthy hard drives is caused by bad system RAM.
