Looking at that screen shot the test is only 54% through and the CPU pass is at 24%, it really needs to be 100% on both to to be considered ok.

You are correct, 1 hour will normally spot bad RAM but a full cycle is the best option. I have not used MemTest86+ for a long time, the last time I used it, it took ~1 hour to do a full cycle.

OK thank you mate

Worth me doing it again then until 4 passes are done?

If it was me, I would turn EXPO on and try it again just to see what happens. If the CPU cannot handle it, it will probably error in the first few mins.
Edit:
If it makes it thought a full cycle with EXPO on, I have no idea what the problem is. Maybe a bad SSD?

Once you have eliminated any ram from the problem I would then run the torture test on Prime95 to make sure the CPU is ok. This is a process of elimination to try and find the culprit of your PC crashing in games, if you RMA your hardware you will only get it back if no faults are found if you are past your 14 days grace period.
Once your ram and CPU have passed the tests with stock settings the test the ram with EXPO and see how it goes. You can leave it running overnight if you don`t fancy watching over it, CPU testing only takes around ten minutes.
If you get a test fail in memtest with the EXPO settings enabled then I would run a game with the expo settings until it crashes and then you can look at the logs in event viewer and hopefully that it will point you in the right direction.
