Memory Failure -- Which DIMM is which?

andyschlei · ‎12-07-2022

My OMEN 30L started having BSOD problems which finally reached the point of total failure. Belatedly, I discovered the hardware diagnostics. In running the diagnostics, the memory diagnostic returned an error. the Memory Quick Check failed on Memory Module 3 DIMM3.

The machine has 64gb and I am hoping I can get it operating by removing the defective memory module. The problem is, I don't know which DIMM slot is module 3. The on-line motherboard viewer only identifies the slots, not which slot is which.

Can someone help me identify which DIMM to pull to continue debugging?

hi

I don't know if this would help, but do you know the model of the motherboard?
I do not know if it is reliable, and for any configuration
but usually from the processor the third from here

How do I find the motherboard model number?

The full model of of the PC is OMEN GT13-0255st if that helps.

And so I understand the general pattern, the DIMM closest to the processor would be the first? Do you know if they number the DIMMs from 0 or 1?

Thanks!
