Like I said, that shot was of the test that was currently running.
Every stick has had 8 passes and no errors

around 3 hours each, i've been testing them all day
If all of the RAM have had 8 or more passes with Memtest86+ testing and none had errors you have ruled out RAM as the malfunctioning hardware.
Each slot on the motherboard that holds the RAM is a DIMM.
You must remember which DIMM is tested and the result for that DIMM so that if you contact the manufacturer of the MB you can report to them that you tested this DIMM and it failed.
So you take a RAM that has already passed the testing and you move it to each DIMM to see which DIMM is malfunctioning.
Once you determine whether there is or is not a malfunctioning DIMM you will want to document it.
With 4 DIMM that is 3 DIMM tests remaining as you have already completed the RAM / DIMM testing in 1 of the DIMM.
If all 4 DIMM have no errors when tested with the same RAM for 8 or more passes then the next step is to test all 4 RAM modules again (at one time (8GB RAM)) with Memtest86+ version 5.01 as that step has not yet been done.
Okay I'll get on that next then
okay finished testing all four slots, all of them went through 8 passes and found zero errors.
What do I do now?

Test all 4 RAM at one time (8 GB) using Memtest86+ version 5.01 for 10 or more passes.
Just 1 error is a fail and you can abort testing.
10 passes this time?? Why so many passes?
The other software memtest86 had a fail in the image that you posted.
With Memtest86+ version 5.01 all RAM passed and all DIMM passed.
The testing can produce false negatives.
A false negative is a pass when there is malfunctioning RAM.
Sometimes the failures have not occurred until passes in the 20's.
So in general the more passes the better.

left it going over night, completed 12 passes and zero errors found
So what's my next step? I'd like to get the computer up and running again :)
