Originally, this question was asked here: How many passes are enough with Memtest?

The question is from 2013, and the answers are from 2013.

I am bringing it up again because it has been 6 years or more since it was asked, and that is an eternity in computer hardware years.

Fast forward to today. I am running memtest on my machine with 32gb ram. Gone are the days of catching errors in the first few seconds, unless something is REALLY wrong. A single pass takes a very long time to get to 100%.

I let my system run overnight and it caught 2 errors. It passed 6 times, failed 2. Do you think these are true errors or, is it more like its an acceptable amount of failure?

Edit: I ran this test because I was getting bluescreen errors that may be driver related, but i'm testing each part independently.

Edit2: Placed bounty on the old question because I didn't know you could do that.
