I bought a used PC that is quite old and decided to test the RAM with memtest86 (ran for about 3.5 hrs) using a live USB but it seems that only one module (the first one in slot 0 which is the slower one) is tested. Since the test never finishes, how do I test the second module? Do I have to physically remove the first before testing the second module?

Afaik Memtest86 has no feature to restrict the test to a particular memory module. You need to remove all other modules to test a single specific module.
