Do the tests have to be done after eachother, or can they be done at random?

in a single run sadly, ram tends to fault after being ran awhile due to heat and other things.

Dang it 😁

Is it normal that a test can go from taking 2.5 hours to over 9?
The first toke 2,5, the second is still running Oo

heat slows down the process yes, just like a hot cpu will throttle itself.

After 12 hours of only doing 2 tests, i had to shut down the pc.
I couldn't sleep for it, and my sleep is important I'll have to try and get a spare pc i can connect somewhere els, to test ram with

What is the make/model of the RAM?

Memory ram 4GB 9905402-564-A00LF

Memory ram 4GB 99U5402-458.A00LF

I have 2x4 gb of each, for a total of 16 gb.

Sorry for the slow reply I'm a bit stressed these days, so it's not going too fast.
Also think i managed to get my hands on a pc i can use for testing. Tho, not sure when i'll get to it tbh.

One of the pairs is an old one, 9 years? the other pair is a few years old probably

I think, these are the correct once, but i make no guarantee, for the links that is

Take one or the other sets OUT. Then see if the computer starts behaving normally again.

I'm betting it's just a case of mismatched RAM. Even if the RAM has the same exact specs, there are other differences, like the manufacturer of the IC chips ON the RAM sticks. It's never good to mix and match, sets of RAM.

Really?
I actually thought, when it came to ram, that didn't matter so much?
