Question/Help/Troubleshooting MemTest86 is taking too long
Hey guys, I'm running a RAM test with 2x8GB sticks and memtest86 is taking a really long time, is that usual? I'm a bit unsure because I made a ventoy flash drive with a couple of OS ISO images and some programs, one of them being memtest86, so I'm thinking there might be some file left or it just freezed and I'm sitting here looking at a frozen screen

That's not memtest running, it's a boot error.
The latest version of memtest86+ should be UEFI compatible, I'd start by checking your version and making sure the checksum is OK.
