Hi there, I encountered some problems and looked up solutions. The first guide suggested running memtest86+, which I did. Since I’m not very technical, I just installed it without checking anything more. Now I’m facing the issue below. Can you tell me how long this should take? Is this typical? Also, just a note: I have DDR5 6000 6000mhz 2x16GB RAM. Your advice would be appreciated. I plan to post more later because my computer has many other problems. Thanks for your help!

Varies based on the specific PC model, including core count, storage size, and RAM speed. I haven't tested it on AM5 yet, but it typically takes around 4 hours (±2 hours). There are nearly 8000 errors, which is unusual. Are you seeing XMP/EXPO settings or is it running at stock? What motherboard are you using?

When everything functions well, allow it to operate for several hours just in case a problem arises occasionally. However, with thousands of existing errors, extending runtime isn't advisable. A working system should never have any isolated errors.

1.) It will continue until you decide to stop, aiming for at least four clean passes. Having more RAM generally increases the time needed for a complete pass.
2.) You’re encountering too many errors, making the system unstable. Consider skipping EXPO/XMP and check if the problem lies with your XMP settings, which might require manual DRAM timing adjustments.

I have a X670E-Plus WiFi board I assembled by a friend. He said to disable AI Overclocking (which he warned me about due to problems), but I believe only AI Overclocking is active and EXPO isn’t visible in BIOS. Or at least it doesn’t appear there. Let me know if you need more info.

Yeah, ive let it on iver night in that pic. And I didnt turn it off until this afternoon when I came home. It was sitting at 18000 errors and 22 passes lol. I have no clue what I should do.

For my setup it should be EXPO, as I have an AMD GPU and CPU without any extra settings enabled. My DRAM frequency is set at 4800MHz. How much adjustment would be typical? (Note: The original mention of 6000MHz was incorrect; it's just 4800MHz.)

Consider testing the CPU and RAM in a reseat order—starting with RAM since it's simpler. If issues persist, return the RAM and obtain a new kit. It might help to run those basic troubleshooting steps first; otherwise, proceed with BIOS update before reseating the CPU, though this is still likely for faulty RAM. Make sure the update is done via BIOS flashback with the RAM removed to avoid damaging the motherboard.
