RAM Issues?

Hey guys. Recently I have noticed some corruption in my windows install. I thought I fixed it, then I saw a BSOD. I ran a windows memory check and it failed within 2 mins. I then ran a DISM and it said "The restore operation completed successfully.", and now windows is working properly (fingers crossed). What I am trying to see is if it's my RAM, a bad update or something worse.

run memtest

I tried memtest86, but it won't boot to it. Just brings me back to my bios. Ubuntu and other things work fine, but it doesn't like memtest86 usb...

I have multiple times. Using rufus and the included one, and I also tried the CD image.

And I'm assuming you've adjusted your boot order?

Yeah. I ended up using the windows tests instead after fixing corruption. It was indeed bad RAM. I had some extra I tried out and no issues resulted and I had no windows issues or corruptions. I ordered some new RAM, so should be good after that.
