Yes, I can confirm that. In addition you should run it more than one |
| 8 |
time... |

It will never end. If it finished all tests it will start over again. |

In the table below you have a field "Pass", probably 0 right now. This |
| 20 |
will increment after the first turn. In upper area you have another |
| 21 |
"Pass" and a progress bar right of it. That's the progress of the |
| 22 |
current pass. One pass involves several tests (configurable by pressing |
| 23 |
c). (Disclaimer: everything from my mind.) |

To be sure make at least a second run, because some memory faults will |
| 26 |
only manifest after hardware is heated. The more passes the better. |
| 27 |
Last words: if memtest86+ doesn't find any errors, even not after days, |
| 28 |
you still can't be totally sure that your memory is okay. But if it |
| 29 |
finds a damaged address there is for sure a problem with hardware. |
| 30 |
Second last words: if it finds a problem there can be other broken parts |
| 31 |
beside memory. Basically everything involved on the path from memory to |
| 32 |
CPU: memory, Northbridge, memory controller, CPU... |
