Re: RAM failing memory diagnostic util

I have used memtest86+ V2.01 for the first time It's a very nice program and not as scary as I thought.

Anyhow, please see screenshots* for info:

Bios settings:

To surmise, RAM modules passed all the tests in 1 pass with exception to Test 7 (Random Number Sequence) which failed miserably. It is noted the error margin (?) is the same on every error with each stick in each slot.

So where do I go from here?

*I apologise for the utter crap photo taking from my semi-decent camera phone. I hope you can make it out, I left the resolution at maximum.
