You don't need two DIMMs to boot.
well got into bios long enough to change disk/boot priority and managed to start a memtest run now, will let it go for an hours or so.
But now I'm all fucking paranoid, what if memtest doesnt show that the ram is faulty? What on earth could it be then?
edit :
Cuz I mean, if my PC crashed in bios and sometimes before POST of all places it certainly can't be driver,software,gpu,hdd-problems right?
I mean I've been playing for nearly a week without the slightest problem. And now, all of the sudden when I was trying TF2 shit really hit the fan
1 ) hardlock no 1, ingame while playing TF2 after like 5min had to reboot manually
2 ) hardlock no 2, just as windows started , had to reboot manually
3 ) hardlock no 3, in BIOS just as I got in the menus.
All in the span of like 10 min
