I believe i'm currently having issues with my G.Skill Memory, and I've come here to help. If this is in the wrong section, I apologize but it seems to be the most logical place to put this post. If it needs to be moved, please feel free
First off, I just built my first PC Ever this Christmas. Everything went in great, I've had no problem until this month. I'm not that much of a newb when it comes to using software and what not, but when it comes to Hardware, I'm still very much a novice. Installing, Troubleshooting, anything about it - I have very little experience with
I've recently been having problems with my PC Locking up, and Bluescreens. Each is a indicator that it could be due to memory. I've Googled and I've managed to find two Memory test tools. The one in windows, and Memtest86.
This is the best I could get from Windows

The results from the Memtest86, I'm not too sure about. There was A LOT of red on my screen, mainly during Tests 1-8 after letting it run 24 different tests, I shut it down. I'm still unsure as to how many times it's supposed to run, I've read it runs indefinitely. There's very little instructions which came with the tool, all I know is I ran it and it said there were MANY failures with the memory. Even with all the erorrs ( which couldn't fit on my screen, and I'm unable to determine if there was supposed to be a LOG File somewhere ) I was unable to determine what exactly it meant.
I don't know how to overclock even if I wanted to, I don't do things in the BIOS due to my lack of experience ( was told to leave it alone unless something was broken, even then get someone to help) so I'm unsure of any of these Steps and Frequencies and all the Technical terms for things. All I know is, there's telling me its a bunch of errors, and I'd like to know if I should RMA it, or if there's something wrong somewhere else.
Thanks for your time and any of your assistance!!!

( Thats all the parts I can name off hand that I think may have any value. Nothings been changed, they were just taken from the box and placed together. No mods, no overclocking etc )
