Memtest errors(not sure if bad)

[nonewsgoodnews]

Hello, out of curiosity I ran memtest on my seemingly working pc. Here were the results:

Does this mean I need new ram? I see various sites saying one error is bad, others saying that memtest isn't reliable. I have no idea what these results mean.

My system has 8gb of corsair ram
Fx6300 processor
Gigabyte USB3 motherboard.
7870 Graphics
500w Corsair Power Supply

Thanks.

In my opinion, any MEMTEST errors need to be addressed. You should test each DIMM individually. Did you buy the memory as a matched set of 2 DIMMs, as a single 8GB DIMM or are the two DIMMs mix-and-match?

It was 2 separate DIMMS of the same type of ram purchased at the same time. I will try running the tests separate and see if only one module comes back with errors.

I've never used that program before but after a quick look on the internet, when people post a screenshot with errors, it looks really bad (comes up with hundreds of errors. In your case, it doesn't look like any errors are being shown). If your computer is running fine, I wouldn't worry. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If your worried, follow kanewolf's advice. No harm in taking precautions

The test came back with 5 errors when I took the screenshot. Sorry if its hard to see, took it with my ipad.

So, I did another memtest with one of my sticks in and it came back fine, Now I'm running another with the potentially bad stick. Glad that I know one of the two is good. Guess I may have to order a replacement soon.
