So i cannot install windows on my computer, right now im trying to do some tests on my computer to hopefully determine what is causing the problem, I ran memtest86 5.01 by using gparted live, (currently there isnt any operating system installed on my pc) here's a picture of memtest pic upload
As you can see 1320 errors have occured, does this mean I should just take my memory sticks out and throw them out? Also there's 2 4 gigabyte memory sticks in my pc.
Thanks in advance for responding.
When it reached 100% 1596 errors had occured

Run each stick individually to see if one or both are bad. Also most DRAM has a lifetime guarantee so should be able to get bad stick(s) replaced

every time I tried to install windows I got this "Windows cannot install required files.Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007025D" (I tried using multiple DVD disks even used USB Flash drive to install various iterations of windows (7 8 10) ) and somehow this once I got past this message and managed to install windows 8, and it's just so broken, everything is corrupted, anything I download is corrupted can't even install most of the important drivers, could these problems be caused by faulty memory chips? I ran hard drive diagnostics too and if these diagnostics are to be trusted my hard drive is flawless so I don't know what to try anymore. help. and also guarantees don't work in my country so I cant replace them have to buy new ones.

you were right, I ran each stick seperately one had hundreds of errors other one had 0, took out the faulty memory stick and every problem gone simply like that, thanks!
