Memtest86 results

hello everyone..

lately i've been getting some blue screens with error msg of MEMORY MANAGEMENT. I have downloaded and burned Memtest86 image to a cd and ran it on start up overnight. I have never run this programs before, so need a little insight here.

Here are some specs on my PC

HP Pavilion Elite M9350F
Phemon4 9850
6 GB of RAM (slots 1&3 are 2GM, slots 2&4 are 1GB), DDR2 6400mhz

the results of the Memtest, as I am looking at them now, basically are showing failures in the 3243.5 to 3303.5 MB range. All of these failures occur in Test 5, Pass 6. If I am reading this correctly, it appears that stick 2 is going bad, Can someone please confirm this for me?

Memtest86: Troubleshooting Memory Errors...
"Please be aware that not all errors reported by MemTest86 are due to bad memory. The test implicitly tests the CPU, L1 and L2 caches as well as the motherboard.
It is impossible for the test to determine what causes the failure to occur.
However, most failures will be due to a problem with memory module.

When it is not, the only option is to replace parts until the failure is corrected."

I would also recheck with memtest86+ (note the +)

This. Running Memtest86 on two of my systems gave memory errors on almost everything (and locked up too). Took Memtest86+ (4.20) to finally get it sorted out and to find the actual bad stick of ram (1 stick out of 8 across 2 systems).

the thing that's getting me is that the computer is running slow when i first get into windows. once everything finishes loading, it runs fine for several hours, then BSOD Memory Management. everything i'm seeing indicates this is a memory issue, so if that is the case, just need to determine which one of my 4 is going bad.
 
Memtest and memtest86 are pretty much dead weight at this point.

Memtest86+ 4.20 is what everyone should be using.
