[SOLVED] [Win10v1607b14393 x64] SFC Corruption

Re: SFC Corruption

Testing each memory module one at a time is a good idea. It should identify the culprit. If you plan on keeping the machine then after the memory is good we can help you eliminate any errors. If you plan on just getting a new machine then there is nothing else to do. Just let me know. Thanks.
 
Re: SFC Corruption

I ran Memtest86+ with all four memory modules installed and got errors. I removed one of the modules and tested again. Again I got errors. I repeated the procedure twice more and got errors. Finally, with just one of the modules remaining, Memtest86+ reported no errors. Of the three modules I had removed, one was an unbranded generic, as was the remaining module. I guessed that it was the bad module and reinstalled the two name-brand modules. Memtest86+ reported no errors. I now have six GB of ram installed in my system and everything appears normal. Windows Update reports that it is up-to-date. Chkdsk and SFC are reporting no errors. I will be purchasing another 2 GB ram module (about $20) to bring my computer back up to 8 GB.


I have used PCs since they first became available in the 1980's. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with ram.


I guess we can mark this thread "solved." Many thanks again Brian for your efforts.
