IVIYTH0S Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 if that doesnt reproduce the issue try re-seating all the cables or film strips. Yeah I'm up to 21 passes on test 5 right now and still going...*rips out hair* If I'm in there ripping all the cables out then that som'bitch's board's coming out and feeling the heat of my oven...I'm just too busy right now to do it 49 Passes...I think it's proved its point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 You sure that hd you put in it is not the problem, maybe you should run a few tests on it, could be a bad connection at the laptop port. Worth a try . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna have to anyway though, since it's hiiiiiiiiiiiiiighly unlikely the HDD is bad since it was a drive sent back from WD that I had gotten replaced a while ago that never was even removed from its static bag. I'll trust WD to have tested it before sending it out lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I would test it anyways....I've gotten bad drives in return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose... but the fact that it froze during memtest makes me doubtful regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 usually a freeze during a memory test is a hardware issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 usually a freeze during a memory test is a hardware issue Yeah but harddrive? lol The harddrive has no bearing on that...to test that theory I could remove the harddrive while I run it next time even though it wouldn't fail the last two times.... I think the bake will be the ultimate do or die attempt for it but I'll still do some harddrive tests tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 It's possible the SATA controller is wonky, but I agree, it won't be touched at all during memtest. Bake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
