Hello, David and Dr. A.J.Travis and All.
Hear is an old trick to qualify a computer.
Take the system to 55^C, run your mem tests.
Lengthen the refresh time until you get failures.
Pull the bad "DIMS" R&R WITH NEW.
Continue test until 72 hours at temp.
Repeat test 3 times, with 3-Hot 2-Room-temp-Cold
tests. Cold-test are for 24 hours.
You qualify “the computer” everything, power supply
included!! Random, and (on and off)
again errors 78%
of time come from "COMPUTER TIMING" and weak
components as a system. This includes your software.
You will have "SYSTEM FAILURES", not just RAM.
Restore all refresh rates to factory defaults.
If you have no "OVENS" just use "large-trash-bags"
and a temperature measuring device. The computers
will self heat in the bags. Make do - in place, rack or
otherwise. Try not to exceed a change of 20^C / minute
both in hot or cold. This avoids solder defects.
Caution: STATIC SHOCK can be a problem with
the trash-bag methods.
Intel should pass all test with flying colors.
AMD has 65^C limit ie you are at MAX LIMIT.
You might want to
back-off to 50^C for them.
