I git this bug too. Tried to figure out problems with an old computer gone instable and found memtest86+ claiming that all three RAM sticks were faulty. Then tried some good (I thought) sticks from another computer with the same result. Then tried all sticks from both computers in the second computer. Then went to my problem-free main system and found that all of my brand new memory in that computer was also supposed to be bad.
Having all the RAM memory in the house in every computer I own all of a sudden gone rotten on test #7 didn't seem right at all, and I've been searching for days before I found this thread. Slipped in a 12.04 and ran memtest86+ from there and voila: no problems anymore - at least not with the sticks I know to be all right. Now, I can go back to the actual work of fixing the computer that actually has problems. But I hope this bug is fixed by the release of 13.04 because to me, this has been a real time-waster. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071209 Title: memtest86+ test #7 false positives (random number sequence error) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/memtest86+/+bug/1071209/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
