So memtest found errors on the very first pass within like 15 mins.. now I'm testing each stick yet again.. altho 2 things... 1.I don't get how it found errors again if the RAM I just bought is brand spankin new, and 2.I noticed when I took out Stick 2 the computer screen booted up right away instead of taking 2-3 mins to load

Errors/red lines means one or more RAM is faulty. But the fault may occur due to a faulty DIMM slot, too, which is a motherboard component. Using memtest86+, you can discriminate between a faulty RAM and a faulty motherboard. Follow Part 3: If You Have Errors: of the tutorial How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
How? Say you have two RAM sticks and two DIMM slots. You obtained errors at the test with all RAM sticks installed. Now, remove all the sticks but one. Test it in all the available slots, one by one. Continue the same procedure for all the available sticks.
How to make the inference that is it a RAM issue or it is a motherboard issue? Suppose you have got the result like that:
No code has to be inserted here. It is a RAM, a bad RAM.
But if you have got a result like that:
No code has to be inserted here. It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.

Well 1 more thing.. with the first memtest I did on my old RAM stick 1 had errors in both slots but stick 2 had 0 errors AND when I bought the new RAM and carefully took it out of the package I noticed a very "hard to notice" cut on the metal park of the ram almost like someone tool a knife and cut diaganolly on the goldish end part of the RAM but I didn't think anything of it until now.. could that be the possible problem?

Well I made sure they were the EXACT same size/shape when I bought altho I did read up on my computer and it said my computee can go up to 8gb and at the time bestbuy only had 8gb DDR3 notebook RAM sticks... so idk if the upgrade screwed it up? Or if its the cut on the stick?

Ram stick 1 errors in both the slots.
Ram stick 2 even does not boot.
Bad motherboard I would say.
