You're facing a frustrating situation with your machine. After multiple memory tests, you're experiencing unexpected crashes that weren't present before. It sounds like the issue might be related to the software or hardware compatibility. The test results from memtest86 seem unreliable, and the program is taking an unusually long time to complete. This could indeed make testing a lengthy process. If this continues, sending the kit back might be the best option unless you can resolve the problem with better tools or diagnostics.
That doesn't seem typical. Were you installing the app from this link?
I found it on their website, though I think it’s now fully organized. It reached the menu and worked perfectly for several hours. The flash drive is quite old; I’ve formatted it and stored various files on it over the past ten years and a half. It might just be time to discard it. Ram has completed two full scans with no issues, so I’m starting to think the problem lies with Windows. I cloned this drive from a SATA SSD to an NVMe one recently, maybe that caught up with me. It could also be a driver-related issue, but I began experiencing BSODs as soon as I installed the new RAM, making it the most likely culprit.
