memtest86 fuctionality

[Beowulf6666]

Hello,

i've been using memtest for years now...but one thing i've always wondered about its fuction is...why do we have to run the mem sticks one at a time?
is there a fuction in memtest that can tell us on which exact mobo slot the faulty module lies in? (assuming we have multiple sticks and we ran memtest with all of them connected)

just wondering

The problem stems from the numerous ways memory addresses to physical memory sticks can be mapped by a system. More information can be found in the following help guide,

How do I know which RAM module is failing?
