1) Please test the RAM in the same DIMM.

So I tested each of the 2 RAM sticks (I call them A and B) separately in the same slot with MemTest 86+.

Stick A went through over 11 passes as follows:

Stick B would freeze MemTest86+ in the middle of the 1st pass as follows:

2) When available update the progress with post #23 step #2 (post #35 step #8)

For testing of memory see above.
For the SSD see below:

3) Run Crucial system scanner:

Done.

zbook said:
4) Update Windows and defender

Done.

Note that I am under Win 11 24H2 and updated that. I have not (yet?) upgraded to 25H2.

5) Run the V2 log collector in:

a) normal boot
b) safe mode

Results here in normal boot and in safe mode.

What to do about the faulty RAM stick?

Thanks.

The options for the Teamgroup RAM:

a) Check warranty status

b) Use only one 16GB RAM module

c) Replace the Teamgroup RAM with one or more matching RAM modules

The logs have not yet reported:
a) BIOS upgrade since 10/23
b) Windows updates since 12/14

Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 26100) (26100.ge_release.240331-1435)
Consider upgrading Windows 24H2 > 25H2 or 26100 > 26200

I have not put back the faulty RAM module. It's under guarantee from the constructor so I'll see about returning it and getting a replacement.

Since the last message I have now updated the BIOS to ver 23.

I'll update Windows in due course.

Shout out to @zbook and @SIW2 once again for being really helpful.

Coresus.

I have made win11 pe iso which you can borrow if you need. It should be extracted to usb stick because it links to the included programs on the usb stick

This looks like something worthwhile to look into, I have ISO s for 22h2 and the newer one and I use rufus, and I have macrium flashes, but not sure what you did here, I used to use HIRENS for 7 and it was like this, a toolkit that I could get into a system that would not boot up. We have more ms account and more encryption now- These days I like to verify anything I download with hash checking, I can order HIRENS for 2026 and I suppose its safe if secure boot is on but still, id rather make sure, So it looks like you can make it with windows iso files?? adding some utilities ?
