I read that Memtest86+ does not work with (U)EFI, only the commercial/free (as in beer) versions of Memtest86 work with UEFI: https://askubuntu.com/questions/917961/can-i-boot-memtest86-if-im-using-uefi https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/memtest/ (German) Though that's just what I read, I have no further knowledge/experience with it.
