Good Morning from my Robotics Lab! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I am going over the results of my gift as given last week. Let’s get started.<\/p>\n
Meltdown! Within hours, my father’s new computer crashed, citing a problem with the RAM in slot 2. I may have touched some of the gold contacts when extracting\/installing it, so I hope it’s still okay, if it was okay to begin with… I reopened the Asus computer’s case to see if it really was just the RAM all along.<\/p>\n
I carefully pulled the four sticks from my tower (16 GB total), and installed them in the Asus machine, running Civ V in a debug, zero-player mode. The test ran for so long, I let it go all night, and came down in the morning all disappointed that it had still crashed in the same way. If anyone has any ideas, do make a comment here and let me know, please. The power supply and mother board are both candidates, but they each are a little more involved and\/or expensive to swap out without knowing for sure what part is at fault.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I pulled the Asus RAM from the new arrival and gave it back half, not including the suspected bad stick. The ‘bad’ half of the RAM, I have in my own tower and ran the Civ test. I didn’t get a full system crash this time; only the game froze and not the entire computer. Other than that test, the RAM itself hasn’t given me any problems.<\/p>\n
I would like to test all 4 sticks together in my computer, and get the 4 total sticks (2 from Ubuntu MineCraft server + 2 from Father’s Mint machine) into the Mint machine and test that. Doing both of these at once would see me sending my RAM off to the server for uptime.<\/p>\n
Time is a bit short around the holidays, so I think I will keep this post fairly brief. Final Question: From earlier, do you have any random ideas on what might be plaguing the Asus?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
