My computer has been way slower than it should be with occasional freezes when using multiple software. I ran Memtest86+ and got this:
How should I interpret this? I'm a newbie and have no clue what to do next.
Any help is appreciated.
Grateful :)
Remove one RAM stick and test the individual stick left in. If it fails, move it to the slot vacated by the one you removed and test it again. If it fails again then the stick is bad, if it passes it's your RAM slot on the motherboard. Once you've run those two tests swap the sticks and run the tests again in the same order.
If the output is like this then you have bad RAM so the stick(s) need replacing.
No code has to be inserted here.
If the output is like this then you should replace the motherboard, however you can leave that DIMM slot empty although it's not advised to use a system with a faulty motherboard.

Eight passes minimum is recommended, anything less isn't conclusive. You don't have to run it overnight, that's just usually the most convenient way if you use your PC a lot, you can run it any time you like. It should be quicker to complete the eight passes when it's only testing one stick at a time.
