Hello and almost Happy New Year!
I have inherited a MSI GT70 Dominator Pro 890 from my brother who tried using it in his construction business to run his 3D architectural software. It came with Win 7 and he tried to update to Win 8 but ran into some kind of trouble, got frustrated and ended up formatting the hard drives (see specs below, 1 HDD and 3 SSDs).I know it is pretty old, but I want to get it running. I have a brand new, legal copy of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit I want to install, but it keeps failing no matter what I try, so right now, the machine has no OS. Originally the laptop was set up in RAID with the 3 SSDs combined as RAID 0 (MSI was calling it "Super Raid") so I set that back up since my brother deleted all the partitions etc. but still no luck after trying to install from USB as well as ISO on a DVD. ANYWAY - I found info about Memtest86 here on this site and created the USB stick, booted from it and let it run automatically without changing anything. It aborted due to high number of errors (screen showed 10,893 errors the second time I tried. I didn't record the first time). The errors are showing up in Test 3 and all that I can see show "Test: 3 Addr: bunch of characters Expected: 00000000 Actual: 00000100 CPU: 4" and at the top says CPUs Found: 8, CPUs Active: 4 (it's got 8 threads on 4 cores). The laptop's CPU was running about 95
