Yes, I can confirm that.  In addition you should run it more than one
time...

It will never end.  If it finished all tests it will start over again.

In the table below you have a field "Pass", probably 0 right now.  This
will increment after the first turn.  In upper area you have another
"Pass" and a progress bar right of it.  That's the progress of the
current pass.  One pass involves several tests (configurable by pressing
c).  (Disclaimer: everything from my mind.)

To be sure make at least a second run, because some memory faults will
only manifest after hardware is heated.  The more passes the better.
Last words: if memtest86+ doesn't find any errors, even not after days,
you still can't be totally sure that your memory is okay.  But if it
finds a damaged address there is for sure a problem with hardware.
Second last words: if it finds a problem there can be other broken parts
beside memory.  Basically everything involved on the path from memory to
CPU: memory, Northbridge, memory controller, CPU...

HTH, kind regards,
 Frank.
