Since the RAM isn't working properly, everytime I boot my laptop, it'll just turn off right after the Welcome screen of Windows 7. I http://superuser.com/questions/738229/can-a-faulty-ram-cause-a-ultra-dma-crc-error decided to take a look at my Hard Drive's SMART status and was surprised that the "UltraDMA CRC Error Count" reads 3...and it all happened ever since I slapped that faulty memory module into my laptop. Right now, I was able to get my RAM replaced with a working one and decided to stress test my RAM and run a full surface scan on my hard drive with the "HD Tune Pro" utility. No errors on both RAM and hard drive. Is it really possible that a faulty RAM could cause my HDD to get Ultra DMA CRC Errors? hard-drive memory smart share|improve this question asked Apr 6 '14 at 2:01 Shawn K. 82 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote accepted Yes. Faulty RAM could cause the controller to send invalid data which fails the CRC test on the drive. Faulty RAM can cause almost anything to go wrong because it can make the hardware do anything software can possibly command it to do. One very plausible way this can happen is if it causes the driver for the drive controller to set the wrong bus timings, clock settings, or UDMA mode on the controller. share|improve this answer a

Discussion in 'Computer Help' started by imported_DBaron, Apr 11, 2007. imported_DBaron Junior Member Joined: Apr 11, 2007 Messages: 2 Likes Received: 0 Hi all, I?ve been encountering random CRC errors when installing some games and big apps over the past few weeks. I thought that it might be a software problem, but after Googling around I came crc error across some others that seamed to have a similar problem. And their problem was harder ware related, mainly RAM trouble. I?ve ran some of the test software suggested in those posts but I?m not sure how to interpret the results no overclocking my specs are: AMD 3500 64 Winchester ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe 2 x Crucial Ballistic 512Mb DDR PC3800 Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 SATA 120 GB Antec SL400 400W PSU crc error bad XFX GeForce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3, PCI-E Memtest results where 165 errors (161 on test #5, 4 on test #7) I tried changing the voltage in the BIOS from ?Auto? to 2.7, 2.75 and 2.8. running Memtest again resulted in only 20 errors this time. My question is how bad these errors are and could they be causing the CRC errors and my systems increasing instability while gaming? I?ve also seen people post that Memtest has trouble with Winchester chips, giving false readings? Stress Prime 2004 was the next tool I ran which also gave the following report: Type: Blend - stress CPU and RAM Min: 8 Max: 4096 InPlace: No Mem: 767 Time: 15 CPU: 2211MHz FSB: 200MHz [201MHz x 11.0 est.] 10/04/2007 03:25 Beginning a continuous self-test to check your computer.

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.4987182617, expected less than 0.4 Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file. Torture Test ran 1 minutes 17 seconds - 1 errors, 0 warnings. I?ve try this tool a few time again changing the Volts but it comes back with similar results. I?m going to see if I can pop my RAM into
