How to: Memtest86+ v2.11

Here I show you how to use the memory diagnostic tool Memtest86+. This utility can help diagnose whether your memory(RAM) is causing the problems you are having with your computer. Remember, it is best to use this utility on each RAM module separately so you can distinguish which module is bad. Consult your motherboard manual to find out which slot is used for single channel.

An online friend of mine wants me to check out Windows Memory Tool, have you used it? I never have. What do you think of it?

[WestCoastMods]

I've tried it out once or twice before but for some reason I think Memtest86 is more robust. Anyway with the word Windows in it, it probably sucks. LOL

The easy thing about using WMT is you don't have to make a floopy or CD, use just search "MdSched.exe" and hit restart.

LMAO @ "with the word Windows in it"

I'll try it out, what the hell. More simple for someone you are trying to help do, that is for sure.

No problem

Just some info.....on Win 7, just download the ISO as pointed out in vid, go to the file and double click on it and then Windows will prompt you to burn the ISO to disc. Insert a blank CD/DVD and click burn :). No need for third party software.

Sir, I commend you on that program. I have been trying to get memtest to work from usb for ages, all because I could not burn to CD's from other software. Your method actually worked first time, although I had to re-insert the CD, thanks so much. Spent hours on this and now it finally works :)

haha you sound like "Forrest Gump"

[account0skeptic]

how do you know if you got errors!!!

[tyman967]

here's a tip, don't disable all your other boot devices. Otherwise youll have to reset your motherboard if you do it wrong

[gavinthegamerfreak]

@Ferrari0321 I believe I have the same motherboard as you. Also, my CD drive is exactly the same. :P

[adamwowify]
