That is some crazy story right there. I do know for a fact that memtest needs multiple passes. But in my case the machine only has 1 stick of ram (used to have 2, one died). I will probably do a memtest overnight and get at you tomorrow.

(used to have 2, one died)

That would make me immediately look to the RAM as the possible source or corruption. If it used to be a matched pair and one stick died, the odds of the other being on its way out are MUCH higher than normal. I would never trust that matched stick.

  Finished an all nighter memtest with a total of 12 passes. All good on the ram side

    Crazy, thought for sure it would fail testing.
    
    Still wouldn’t trust it personally after a failed stick from a matched pair regardless of what the test says though.

    Yeah. But it could be the board that burned it.
