I'm building my first PC and have run into some issues. My device keeps shutting off randomly, and I'm thinking the RAM might be the culprit. I have two RAM sticks, so I plan to test them one at a time. However, while running Memtest86, I noticed it doesn't show details like the number of errors found or how many tests it has completed (here's a link to the screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/8hZ0Y0v). I've also followed a tutorial about it (you can find it here: https://youtu.be/EDCk04hgVEk?si=QcUbWM2NE7e6wbG3). I would appreciate any feedback on what I might be doing wrong or how to get better information from Memtest.

Did you download Memtest86 from their official site? Sometimes there are extra options available when you boot it.
You might want to consider using OCCT instead. Some older versions of it provide more detailed information than Memtest86.
Instead of using Memtest86, try Memtest86+. It's often recommended because it tends to show more info and has been more reliable for many users.
Is the '+' version really better? Does it create a log if it passes?
I'll give Memtest86+ a try!
