This is an instance of Memtest86+, which is different from the original memtest. It's booted from a ventoy flash drive in memboot mode. The big letters are real.

It says PASS when it's done some passes that were all successful.

It says FAIL when it has one error. It rattles off bad block addresses if you dismiss the FAIL and let it continue

    Thanks. It has been a long time.

    I feel like memory might have gotten more reliable in the last 25 years. This is the first time I had to memtest something in over a decade. Back in the day, I used to test heaps of rigs and find bad memory occasionally. And I've never had a memory failure on my personal hardware until now.
