I see, because 2 passes took like 5 hours, but anywayd ill do that, i wonder tho, what is memtest exactly?
Yes mate like I said it is very tedious and is best run overnight.
Now just supposing you have say three sticks and four slots and you get errors with all sticks in the slots. You then need to test each stick separately in number 1 slot again to find out which if the three sticks is bad. If the three sticks test out ok then you need to test a good stick in each of the slots you have been using because it can be that a slot on the board is bad.
The way it works is in that link I sent -
Memtest86 and Memtest86+ are memory test software programs designed to test and stress test an x86 architecture computer's random access memory (RAM) for errors. Each tries to verify that the RAM will accept and correctly retain ARBITARY patterns of data written to it, that there are no errors where different bits of memory interact, and that there are no conflicts between memory addresses.
