As for how easy it is, yup, it's that simple.
When you ran Memtest86+, it should tell you what type of memory you're running. Since the machine is 7+ years old, it's probably going to say DDR3-1600 or something like that. Go buy the same memory spec as whatever is listed. Memory Express has stock in DDR3 1333 (PC3-10600), 1600 (PC3-12800), and 1866 (PC3-14900) which covers the most common speeds of the generation.

Went to Memex this morning and bought some replacement RAM. $59 for DDR3.
Ran the diagnostic again fully with no errors. Computer hasn’t restarted since, but I haven’t run a game on it yet. Will try tonight after bedtime.
My old ram was 1866, but I bought 1600 this time. Shouldn’t be a problem I would assume? I just need this thing to last me another six months till I build new.
Hot tip: the NE Memex had a big shipment of 30 level cards arrive this morning, including 3090. No 3080s though.
