This fault also occurs for me with Ubuntu 20.04. I have 3 x 4G sticks.
Any single stick in any slot and the Ubuntu-bundled memtest runs fine.
More than one stick will result in the Ubuntu-bundled memtest freezing
(at exactly the same point each time). The memory is good, as determined
by Memtest86+ 5.31b booting from a CD.

If developers don't have time to fix it for 20.04, and I realise they
are volunteers working in their spare time, then IMHO it would be better
to remove it altogether. Otherwise, the faulty version causes people to
waste a lot of time thinking they have bad memory, many of them never
realising the memory is good and possibly throwing it away. I know it
would have saved me a lot of time today if this faulty version hadn't
been bundled with 20.04.
