A guide to checking for memory errors with HCI MemTest, which is much better at detecting memory errors than MemTest86 in my experience.
1. Download free HCI MemTest. https://hcidesign.com/memtest/
2. Open Windows Task Manager (alt+ctrl+del) and check the available memory.
3. Divide the available memory by the number of threads your CPU has. For example, if available memory is 32GB and your CPU has 12 threads.
(32GB ÷ 12 threads = 2.6GB)
Open 12 MemTest windows with each window testing 2.6GB of memory. 2.6GB = 2600MB
If the calculated GB to test per MemTest window is larger than MemTest will accept. Then divide the available memory by the maximum GB MemTest will accept (3000MB = 3GB). That's how many MemTest windows you need to open in order to test all available system memory.
64GB ÷ 3GB = 21 MemTest windows testing 3000MB per window.
Keep an eye on the available memory in Windows Task Manager. Always leave at least 1GB of available memory. If available memory is 0, then MemTest will start testing the Windows page file which is located on the SSD drive. This turns MemTest into a SSD drive test, instead of a memory test, and will severely slow down the testing process.

My issue is with CPU utilization, not memory. When I monitor memory utilization it never jumps above 30%. Unless task manager is lying to me about it
