Try to run the game again and see if you get any errors. If they all pass for some reason after all memory sticks are plugged in then it may be that you simply had dust in the slot that was effecting memory access. You should know by then which slot is broken and plan accordingly. Finally the 4th slot and run the test again. If the first two slots pass the memtest86 then you plug in the 3rd slot. You must read the documentation on your motherboard to know which ones are dual channel. Most motherboards have dual channel memory and so you will have to test slot 1 and 3 or slot 1 and 2 depending on your motherboard. First plug in the first two memory slots.Once you have tested all your memory in this way and if each one passes the test then you have eliminated memory as an issue and must then test out the DIMM slots on your motherboard. Do at least two passes on each memory stick making certain you do the power discharge I put in caps above each time.

Then replug in your PC and run the memtest86 again. Then test each stick individually by placing one stick in the first DIMM slot.
