Could be an indication of RAM that's becoming unstable. If it was me, I'd run different memtests (prime95, OCCT, TM5), but that would take probably three to four hours, and I'm particular about RAM stability. Running whatever built in memtest you have is likely sufficient.
In case the ram is becoming unstable, there is a way to fix it without changin the ram or i have to change it?
I'd just start by re-seating the sticks and not bother with the memtest gauntlet unless it happens again or your computer starts doing anything else odd. I was having no issues but a single game crashing on me every couple hours once. It took testing the ram a dozen hours before it ever showed itself and I had to loosen my timing a bit to fix it. A one off incident, I wouldn't do anything for.
You can loosen the timings or turn off XMP (which resets your RAM to the guaranteed-stable JDEC timings), which might solve any instability but would lower your RAM performance, but if it's already at JDEC spec and unstable, replacement is your only option.
i already tested the ram, no errors, it was grub related
Hey, easy fixes are the best fixes!
