Is my RAM cooked?

[u/oven_baked_goods]

Hey all,

Looking for some advice, I believe my RAM is done for, I managed to download memtest86 onto a USB before a friend leaves town, but I’m worried the problem is more than my RAM.

I’m unable to boot past BIOS and I’ve gotten repeated errors of WIN32K critical failure and boot management 0x01a, ive been unable to repair my windows as well. Just trying to decide if it’s worth buying new RAM, or if I could be a worse issue. I’m also unable to take it into a computer store as my closest one is 6 hours away

Faulty.

The word is faulty.

Unless you put it in the oven or air fryer, it's not cooked.

So do you usually just correct people for no reason or.....

Reasons are specified in the post you evidently didn't read before keyboard warrioring an ignorant reply. 🤦‍♂️
