I have an Lenova Ideapad 3 gaming laptop with nVidia 3050, 16 gigs DDR5 (8 gig stick added months ago). Ive been having crashes in Windows a lot, mainly Explorer messing up or a browser after a while being used, in the last month or so, but it never crashes whilst playing a game for hours on end.
So I decided to run some live linux distros (and possibly reinstalling windows 11 to fix the problem) using Ventoy and I ran memtest and let it run and it stops at 83% everytime I run it.
I was thinking of upgrading to 32 gigs anyways, with a 2×16, but if its a slot maybe I might be better at getting a single 32 gig chip. Any suggestions or ideas to try before spending $85?
