I used to have a failure ram which generates DUMP file when BSOD, i try to test ram with memtest64 and find lots of error, so i sent it back to the shop. But they told me that the ram is working which i dont believe. So is it there a way to find the characterization of history ram like SN number from system history file to prevent they send the old, failure ram back to me?

    May you provide more detail about the RAM, the appliance, and the Windows OS? Other than that you need to use a proper testing tool, ideally the same one used in the shop. To check RAM's SN number do the following:

    “Start” or press the “Windows” key

    Type in "Command Prompt in the search box. Right-click on the results

    Select “Run as administrator”, enter Command Prompt in admin mode

    Type "wmic memorychip get devicelocator, serialnumber" (without commas) in the window that is displayed:

    Press "Enter" and you should see he serial number displayed under “Serial Number.”
