I ran Memtest86 and was questioning the results. I have four sticks 512mb of Kingston Pc3200 DDr, bought from them direct in 'matched pairs.' I ran the test on the whole assembly and had 'failed' results on test 3 and 4. I pulled one channel (dual channel Mobo) and ran again, failed. Pulled additional stick, leaving one, and ran the test again and it failed. I set it aside and installed it's brother, Passed. Consequentially, singly and in combination, all other sticks passed the test.
I'm considering the the first stick was the bad apple. My question was that the program had a tendency to hang at about 99% passed, so I called it 'passed.' A couple of the runs went right through and none of them showed a failed mark. Is this 'hanging' common with the program or something I should be worried about?
