Touch the unpainted part of the system and don't let go.
Now on the side of the modules you will see what looks like a lever.
Push the ever away from the module and then do the other side.
Try to remember how they come out as they need to go in the same way.
Once one stick is out then rerun the memtest with the one module. If it comes back good then you will need to remove the other module and put the module you first took out in it's place. Rerun the test.
Let me know what the results show.

Yes that will work. Make sure you have the bag with you when you do all this. Don't walk across the floor untl it is secure.
This is overkill in most instances but better safe then sorry at this point.

OK I need to get some sleep. Post your results for each stick and I will look at it in about 7 hours.
If the system does not boot then you won't be able to test the stick by themselves. At that point you may have to purchase all new memory.

Alright so i took it out zipblocked the ram and the test is going, im going to bed will post update in morning, aswell as start next scan with other ram before school.

[dylan123]

It frozed after like 1 min of being on tried again and 3 secondes and it frozed.. so im going to put the other one in see what happens. Can power supply be doing this?

[rshaffer61]

Yes PSU can cause this but I'm still betting it's the memory.

[dylan123]

Ok so basicly the 1 gig memory frozed couldnt do much ... tried twice then the 2 gig would boot up like half of the blue screen not even strating scan, i tried right now and the 2gig is currently scanning so if it doesnt , ok actually 2 gig just frozed and had no errors at about 3 mins in and had like alarm constant sound.?

[rshaffer61]

Alar has in a steady sound or was it beeping?

[dylan123]

Ok so the 1gig ram kept freezing and i just came back from school and the 2 gig the tower was off and screen on standby so i dont know... But the 2gig is running today dont know why it wasnt yesterday, how can we determine if the power supply has problems?

[dylan123]

The alarm sound was constant not beeping just ringing

[dylan123]

ok update its freezing now have no idea why its freezing at random times.. of memtest

[rshaffer61]

Testing just the one stick?
If PSU fan is not turning when system is on then the PSU is overheating.
If it is running the PSU could still be faulty.

[dylan123]

The psu fan is running and i am testing ONLY the 2 gig stick
