IIRC there are two flavors of MemTest86, one with a Plus (+) at the

When I was testing issues with VPU recover on my new system as was
being told to blame my RAM I tried both and think MemTest86+ was the
one that ran correctly for me.
None of the software RAM testers are very good. I've had several
situations recently where I ran 50-70 passes with no errors, but the
DIMM turned out to be bad anyway. So if it gives you an error, then
you have bad RAm, but if it doesn't, that doesn't mean the RAM is fine.
