Wanted: Free non-benchmarking/diagnostic software for testing memory

Recently I bought a laptop computer and found out via MemTest86+ that the memory is defective. However, the laptop was sold as a refurbished product, so the seller will only replace the memory if bad memory causes problem when doing real tasks such as corruption when playing movies or apps not working properly. Unfortunately, MemTest86+'s contacts are now all not working (the forum links to empty page). Is there any free (and preferably small) productivity software that can be used to isolate potential memory problems rather than just overworked processors?
 
Um, memtest IS telling you there is a problem. That is all it takes for ANY reputable company to replace the RAM.

The seller is being disingenuous.

Screenshot the errors, and then tell this seller to replace the DIMMs. No need to go looking for a way to trigger the memory error to do something that you may never notice. Like a pixel being incorrect in a movie.
