@Rowan the customer is always right

@tomnardi and yes i understand the disparity between proprietary PassMark memtest86 and memtest86+ but still

@tomnardi i'm mostly upset because i nearly trashed 2 computers now until i realized they both freeze on memtest86+ 5.01 at the _exact same point_ whereas PassMark memtest86 10.2 passes them just fine and here i thought i had TWO dead mobos since no stick or slot config fixed the freezes

@smellsofbikes no clue, don't know how lenovo diagnostics works and newer passmark memtest 10.2 did a full pass without errors

memtest86+ 5.01 freezes on test 1 54% and i've seen it freeze at exactly the same point (just a couple of seconds in really) on another hardware entirely, which is what made me try another memtest

and yes this was memtest from two different liveusbs, which both had 86+ 5.01 exactly

Why do Linux live USBs ship a broken version of memtest86+ to this day?

this still doesn't explain why steam specifically started having a memory read issue

or why it STOPPED happening

but at least i can come down from the anger rush of this laptop being fucking faulty

HAHA NOPE

MEMTEST 5.01

THE VERSION EVERY FUCKING LINUX LIVE USB BUNDLES

TO THIS FUCKING DAY

IS THE FUCKING CULPRIT

VERSION 10.2 HAS NOT FROZEN YET

FUCK ME FUCK LINUX BROS

i'll just run this fucking laptop into the ground i guess i'm too fucking unemployable to get anything else

after reseating all ram, reseating and REPASTING the CPU(!!!!) memtest STILL FAILS no matter what but now steam starts, i guess

fuck me whatever

Anyone wanna buy me a new laptop

K memtest locks up consistently in the very same place no matter what ram is in what slot whether it's one or both of them. Cool i have a dead laptop

Available Memory jumped down from 16GB to 8GB after the first test. Lenovo diagnostics counts this as PASSED. am i taking crazy pills

@suricrasia no no i think flip zero could definitely be an usb key

getting a bizarre error trying to launch steam that's surviving computer reboots and reinstalling steam... nothing else in my computer is throwing this error (though discord started crashing when trying to open links), what the hell do i do

hey i think i should be allowed to live if you also think i should be allowed to live please help me live by making sure i don't go bankrupt by the fact nobody has allowed me an income in almost an entire year now thank you for agreeing with me
