I was getting all freaked out that my new MB/CPU and memory wasn't working right since it was failing memtest86+ 5.01.  The original thread is here.

 

To summarize I was getting errors on the block move test when using parallel CPU mode.  So I did a little digging and others (non unraid folks) had this issue too

with an earlier version of memtest86 (not memtest86+).  They supposedly fixed it in a later version.

So for grins..  I tried memtest86+ 5.01 on two of my work machines (that are rock stable) and sure enough if I just ran the block test in low memory (<10M) multi parallel CPU, I got errors there too.

 

So I felt better that the issue was with memtest!  So I ran the latest memtest86 (not memtest86+) V7.something on my new hardware with the memory OC'ed and it ran for two days without errors in multi CPU mode. Now it only seems to run 4 of the 8 virtual cores..  But that might be by design..

 

Some links to look at: http://linerate.blogspot.com/2014/03/memory-errors-in-memtest86-and.html  which sites this article.

 

So be wary of memtest86+ that ships with Unraid.

I was using this Version two days ago with my Xeon E3-1231v3 on an Asrock H97M Pro4 to test 4x4GB RAM at parallel CPU-Mode.

All was working fine so i dont think its the software. There must be an other reason for this errors.
