A memory test screen that claims the test passed with no errors, while somehow the display itself has at least three errors on it.

The issue turned out to be bad capacitors.

  • Test #0
  • 𝚽Moving
  • no0errors at the bottom

Also I ask:

  • No L3 cache yet there is L2 and L1?
  • DDR669?

~~Damn, I think you spotted two more errors that I hadn't even noticed. I hadn't noticed Test #0 or DDR669.~~

But you did miss one, "Press Ecc to exit" Should be Esc

I found that one extra funny, along with no0errors 😂🤣

I don't believe either of those are errors, unless I missed something on the test count. Counting starts at 0 and you already covered the DDR rate.

Also L3 cache "none" isn't an error. The CPU has no L3 cache.

Memtest does start at Test #0?

Okay, it's been forever since I've needed to run Memtest, I kinda forget these days.

That Ecc is definitely an error though, should be Esc

Just... Take my upvote and GTFO... 😂

This PC is anywhere from 2003-2008. Pretty sure K8 didn't have L3. And DDR2 RAM tends to show as mhz+mhz=DDRmhz.

The "DDR669" might be DDR2-667 with a slightly inaccurate clock

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I did a little number crunching to see about that DDR669 thing...

If indeed the CPU speed is correct at 3014MHz, then the clock multiplier must be 4.5, yielding a RAM speed of 669.777MHz.

That part just might check out, but I dunno, I took that photo back in like 2011.
