Hi everyone, my computer has been experiencing some serious issues lately. Windows won't even update anymore, and it seems like it's getting worse. This morning, I decided to run Memtest86 to see what's going on. How concerned should I be about my PC's condition? I've attached a picture of the test results.

One thing to consider when you post on forums is to provide as much detail as possible in your title. Clear titles help get better responses!
From what you've described, it sounds like you're facing some serious RAM issues. It could be a variety of things, so if you're comfortable with hardware, consider looking up some guides on YouTube for testing and swapping out parts. If that sounds too daunting, it might be best to take it to a repair shop.
If you're using Windows 11, it can be a bit picky with hardware. Have you tried running any Linux distros? Sometimes they can handle issues more gracefully, but it sounds like you’re already hitting walls there.
First off, how many RAM sticks do you have? It’s helpful to test them individually to pinpoint the problem. If you’re running two sticks, try them one at a time to see if the issues persist.
You might need to invest in new RAM. Just a heads up, if this RAM is bad, your system could be at risk of serious data corruption which is definitely not ideal.
