What is interesting is the timing of this, I installed this new NAS a month ago in my comms room downstairs and it's been running fine. On Wednesday I moved it up to my loft as my sparky came and extended my network up there - it's cooler up there (although at idle the system runs at 18-25 degrees C and the drives around the same), but also the power socket has a max limit of 5A. Hanging off the power socket are the UPS (Eaton 3S850B 3S Gen2 Desktop UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply (510W/850VA)) which connects my 2.5GbE switch and then this NAS. Is this just a red herring and just coincidental timing?

Power is unlikely to make a difference, temperature could, but I'd imagine more like the moving itself nugdged something enough to make a bad contact. Would try cleaning contacts/reseating the RAM first, CPU second, if still bad then RMA.

Thanks all - it's shutdown, so I'll deal with the joy that is Amazon for a replacement of the unit.

Thank you for this great tool!!

Question: Why could it be that I'm seeing errors when testing 12 of my 16GB of memory, yet Memtest86+ finds nothing?

Run memtest86 for at least 3 full passes, if nothing comes up I'd treat it as false positive unless you're having problems.

Thank you, Rysz. Memtest86+ has completed 3 passes without any errors.

To clarify, are you saying that I should believe Memtest86+ (zero errors) or Live Memory Tester (many errors)?

What started all this is that I'm unable to complete a parity check, but at this point I don't know if that's due to memory or something else...

Since you're having such problems, I wouldn't completely rule out the memory being the issue after all.

I'm not sure how the tests of Memtest86+ and LMT differ under the hood, it's possible they test different paths.

I haven't seen any false positives from LMT yet... so I'd not rule RAM out until you really find another "smoking gun".

Thank you. I've found that if I run on 8GB (of 16), it will run through a pass without errors. But as soon as I change that to 12GB, it starts failing regularly. So I'm very suspicious of my current RAM. I'll replace that today and see if that fixes things....

You can try taking out one stick, and then test each stick separately, see if that changes anything.

Just to close this thread out, my system has now been running flawlessly for two weeks. I replaced my 16GB DRAM module and that was the fix.

The bottom line on this is that Memtest86+ was unable to find my DRAM errors but Live Memory Tester found them quickly and efficiently. Had I relied solely on Memtest86+, I may never have solved this.

Thanks for an awesome plugin!!!!

Great plugin - thank you!

I can’t get this plugin to work. Just keep getting a memory allocation error.

Please post a screenshot of the page where you're getting the error and include how much RAM you have installed.

Currently booted into memtest86+. This is a brand new system so I decided it would really be better to do a full memory test. Once that’s complete I’ll try the plugin again.

Fair, for a new system you're probably better off doing that as it can test all memory as opposed to the plugin.
