hI there. I think I have a ram error but have no idea what the memtest86 software is actually telling me. I been having strange frame drops in games, so I thought it could be ram, I have included a screen pic. please note I am a novice.
my PC is new, maxims extreme 6, i7 4770k, 32 gig of Kingston predator ram, win 7 64 bit.
Thank You for any insight

Welcome to the ROG forums, riseyboy.

Did you make sure that your RAM is running at the default SPD speed (1333MHz) before you started Memtest86+?

Well, you can run Memtest86+ on each stick individually and find the defective one. Remove the culprit and continue using your system. But since you paid for 32GB, I'd just RMA the whole kit and have them send a working 32GB kit. 😛
