Need more info. Post the emulator you're using (VMware, 86box, etc.) or the hardware if it's real hardware (CPU, memory, graphics, motherboard, hard drive, etc.), version of DOS, and the games you're having trouble with, then we can try and help.
I'm using a Wyse Vx0L thin client, game Space Quest 6 it was running fine then it crashed, another game can't installed is the 7th Guest
here are some pictures
still need help asap
Memtest?
Things I built:
Mechwarrior 2 installer for Windows 10/11 Re: A comprehensive guide to install and play MechWarrior 2 on new versions on Windows.
Dos+Windows 3.11 auto-install iso template (for vmware)
Script to backup Win9x\ME drivers from a working install

can't do memtest
There are many examples of jemmex exception 06 on Google.
Maybe it's buggy and you should try a different memory manager, or the memory is flaky and you should run memtest.
I doubt anyone else will have any different suggestions.

If you have a USB floppy drive or would consider getting one, the BIOS may support booting from it, which would open up some doors for troubleshooting.
But even without that, since you are using a CF card adapter, you could try writing Memtest directly to a CF card and booting it that way. If you don't already have some extra CF cards I highly recommend getting some since it will give you a lot of flexibility for testing, troubleshooting, and trying other OSs without wiping/restoring the same CF card all the time.
It also looks like the RAM is a separate module and not soldered, so if you have another machine with the same memory type, you could try putting the module in there and running Memtest.
As far as the version goes, you'll want to use Memtest86 4.3.7. There is also another one called "Windows Memory Diagnostic" which is freely available on the web, though Memtest is the gold standard. The reason it's recommended to do this is because without knowing for sure the memory is good, any other suggestions might not help at all.
