TheGleaner Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Just as a general idea, if you throw a new to you stick of ECC ram into your computer/server and unraid starts reporting ECC correction errors upon boot, that stick is the issue, most of the time, correct? If true, why didn't memtest find the issue during a few passes, yet UnRaid does immediately? Quote Link to comment

I have got it to show errors before on new to me ram... Quote Link to comment
