orkid1989 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I have a few different errors and they kinda point towards memory but was wondering if it might be something else seeing as the memory is pretty new. It is 2 16gb ecc sticks that are maybe 6 months old at the most. I'm more worried about the motherboard and/or cpu which had concrete thermal paste for who knows how long. I bought it used. So here is the errors and I will include the full log aswell.

JorgeB Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Look for a system log/event system log on the board bios, there should be more info there, like which dimm is the problem. Quote Link to comment
orkid1989 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 I tried that first but cant find anything in the bios page. But also I'm not as familiar with this old Lenovo s30 bios. Its has a 1620v2 Quote Link to comment
orkid1989 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Also side note. Did just notice that the mobo and cpu are quad channel but I only have 2 sticks in. Would their be any real world performance increase upgrading to quad channel ecc? Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 IMO unless you need the extra RAM, no. Quote Link to comment
orkid1989 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Ok. My plan is to upgrade to a ryzen with more cores and ddr4 sometime this year. That should be faster Quote Link to comment
orkid1989 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 I dont see any kind of log in the bios page at all. What am I looking for? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 server/workstations boards usually have a 11 hours ago, johnnie.black said: system log/event system log but never had any Lenovo, so maybe there's not one. Quote Link to comment
orkid1989 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 So no clue what the error codes mean? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Usually means there's a bad DIMM, it just doesn't tell which one, try removing one at a time and see if the errors stop. Quote Link to comment
orkid1989 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Well this sucks because the code only pops up at random. Not immediately. Was running all day yesterday and the code didn't come back till 4am Quote Link to comment
orkid1989 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Strangely enough it is at the same time. Not sure if its connected but it is right before daily mover schedule. Quote Link to comment
