So is the z just a more updated/refined version of the regular formula?

Red orchestra 2 multiplayer works. Never crashed while playing. Most other games did, even war thunder which is strictly online as well.

This is a memory error not a virus.

I haven't run it yet. Can I run BurnIn test? I tried to do the USB one for memtest but it wants me to find a bin. file for whatever reason. I don't know what that is, and I do not have one made right now because it doesn't auto select it.

You could, but memtest is the best choice for memory testing.
I'll attatch the correct zip file for memtest usb version.
It's for windows so you just have to extract the zip files, run the EXE in there and it should auto select the included .bin file. If not, just hit the "browse" button select the .bin file in the folder you just extracted everything to.
Then click "Write to UDF" after you select the USB drive. You will lose all data on the usb drive to copy it somewhere first!
Then boot to USB and memtest should run. As lon as your computer supports booting from USB.
Hope this helps,

That's either bad or ... well I dunno.
That could mean that the memory is that messed up, this happened to me when I overclock my old AMD Duron (Spitfire baby!) way past it's rated FSB of 100 MHz. I hit about 160 MHz then memtest would fail to run at all until I reduced the overclock...
Do you have any other computers that you can run memtest on? If so swap the memory (if the memory is compatible with the other computers) and run memtest. If it still fails in another good mobo, I'd say it's bad memory...
Try it if you can please!

What ill do is just have the guy test it when he does my rebuild. In the meantime I can still play a couple games though

Wait, the computer you're talking about on this thread still can play games?
I was under the assumption that it's still locked you out?

Bad memory is a MF! If you have 2 sticks pull 1 out. And run your diognostics. If good swap them out and run again. If still good its not your memory.
