I dont know how to interpret this tool's output. I ran memtest86+ after my HP Pavillion desktop stopped loading windows. Need to know which memory DIMM to replace. Can this be determined from the results ?

Here is the output (where it stopped):

I'm handicapped and it's very hard for me to work on pc. Is it possible to discern which stick is bad from memtest86 or other utility? Thanks very much.

I can't tell based on what you have posted.

What you should do is power the PC on with just one stick of ram. If the PC works with the first stick of ram, that one is probably good. Try with the next stick of ram until one fails.

If there isn't a quick failure, reboot and run memtest86.

With a bad stick of ram, the bad one is usually obvious when it's the only stick in the mix.

Has 4 sticks of ddr2....HP Pavilion Elite m9520f desktop pc. I removed two closest to cpu...and it booted into windows but then shortly after froze up with 'text message screen' indicating it had to shut down pc to protect...or some such mssg. Have NO idea what that means.

Now finally was able to get into PC Doctor diagnostics......testing memory and it FAILED with error code "BIOME-1"

What does that code mean? Motherboard? The last two sticks are also bad???
