If you have tested the memory using the Windows Memory Diagnostic and it has advised hardware damaged, please download Memtest86 Free Version from here https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
Please run this Memtest which is the leading RAM memory tester.
Let me know if this passes or not. I think this is a false flag. ie. I believe Windows Memory Diagnostic is misreporting the issue and I think if you run Memtest86 you will see that it passes fine.
If you have failures with Memtest86, then please reply on this thread.
I haven’t had a reply currently but I have previously been in contact with them on email before the issues started. I’m hoping that Monday will be business as usual and GPD will work with us. I will do my best to push for this support forum to be the mechanism by which we can diagnose issues and resolve them quickly either by pointing user to specific instructions eg reinstall or firmware upgrade or in actual cases of hardware failures get some kind of RMA process in place to facilitate quick resolution of these problems. I believe GPD will work with us for sure.
Nothero please could you try running a game in Steam and advise if your experiencing similar issues to what Jason is experiencing in the BSOD thread. The reason we are asking is We are trying to understand if the ram issue is the cause of the bsod issue being experienced by a few people. Thanks
I think Jason said he was going to retest memory today after he had tested it for 24 hours. Can’t blame him for wanting to actually use his new computer
I went home and updated BIOS,and ran MemTest86 again.Although the number of errors has decreased, more than 1000 have occurred. The hardware problem is not solved.
Do you have any other symptoms blue screen of death? How is laptop performing? Any screenshot following bios update for us to look at please? It could just be a timing issue with ram chips which may not be causing any noticeable degradation. Please try to explain as much as possible here so the community understands what the issue is. Thanks
Yeah – I will run the memtest overnight tonight and post results in the morning. Right now I am using the device and functionally it is exactly what I hoped it to be. Speedy, stable, and portable!
As promised, I ran the Memtest86 last night again after the bios update… I went from 8,000+ errors to… drumroll please… 0 ISSUES! Screen capture for proof, before and after. One thing that is interesting is that the listed memory changed. Perhaps that is what the BIOS did. Maybe they had a memory supplier switch and pushed an older version of bios? Just a guess…
