I'm getting annoyed with the RAM corrupting my files on my system and having to do a fresh install again.
Does anyone have any recommendations on which brand is reliable? I'm leaning towards Crucial or G.Skill at the moment. |
Bad RAM is almost vanishingly rare these days and I can't imagine the odds of getting two bad DIMMs in a row.
Were the RAM failures both in the same DIMM slot? If you swapped the DIMMS, would the error occur yet again in the same DIMM slot?
I wonder if it will turn out that you've got a flaky memory controller or other logic board part that is causing RAM related failures.
