Memtest86 set up:
If you go to the homepage of Memtest86 you see a "Download" link at the top of their page. If you follow this link it takes you to a page with 4 main links above. 90% of our users want the third link down [this is the link for the Windows version of the program] want to download on the page called:
"Download - Memtest86 v3." "2 ISO image (zip)"
I recommend saving the file to your desktop, so it's easy to find. After you have the file you need, if from the ZIP file to extract. If you should run Windows XP, you only on the ZIP file and drag it can double on your desktop. If you need an older version of Windows you otherwise WinZip download, following the link can be found:
http://www.WinZip.com
They do not have to purchase this program, as the trial, which will offer them the basic things to extract those you need this file. Once you have installed WinZip follow the instructions above and double click the file, and then drag the file that you see in the window on your desktop.
Is the file that you should have extracted from the above examples marked:
Memtest86-3.2.iso
[Note: Memtest86 allows create only a bootable Diagnostics CD.] [If you have a CD burner and not the Diagnostics CD, you can you to refer to the Guide on the "setting up MS memory diagnostic" two options to create a disc.]
Burn it on CD:
As you can see from looking at the file extension an ISO file is specified by the.ISO at the end of the file name. An ISO file, also known as an "image" file used to burn an exact copy of a file or program within certain CD burning software. Burn a program that works very much for these file types is "Nero Burning Rom". If you are this program you are good to go. Otherwise, you can download the program from the following location:
http://www.Nero.com /.
If you want to buy not this software, you can search the "free" trial version on their website, where you use the basic functionality that burn ISO file required software. Once you downloaded Nero and installed you open your file "memtest86 3.2.iso" in Nero, so that you can burn the diagnostic tool on CD.
You must open the file in Nero a way to make to ensure that burning the ISO file correctly. To this, a menu with options will bring the right mouse button on the file and it up. Want to select the option "Open with" from the menu. Once you have selected this is an "Open with" dialog is opened, all the software that currently on your system are installed
If you should have installed correctly you Nero able to scroll through the list and select Nero, and then click "OK". If you want to know one leave the option "use always this program, to open these files" check [or add a check box, this is not] and in the future your computer always ISO image files in Nero opened, so that you can burn it.
Once you have selected OK Nero will automatically open and take the "Image recording - write a premastered image" window. Let the options that are set to default values, and then click the button "continue" in the lower right corner.
At this point, should start "Burning process" Nero, show of how much time on the program for burning the CD is left you a percentage bar. Because there is such a small file, the writing process to take approximately 1 minute and then it will pop up with a window that says
"Burn at 40 x (6,000 KB/s) completed successfully"
Or something similar, you are mainly review to ensure that it says that it completed successfully. On the success window, click ok, and click then the button "continue" in the lower right corner once again your diagnosis disc stop.
Should at this point the program disk from the system automatically eject to can close Nero to where we are ready to use it. The CD set I would recommend again in the system and then control through Windows Explorer, make sure that you find you data on the CD as another method to check whether the disc has been successfully burned down.
Through Windows Explorer, click the CD drive. If the data has been burned correctly you will see a "BOOT" folder on the CD. If this is the diagnostic tool correctly burned.
If you have checked that your disc is good to go, you can leave it in the drive and reboot the system to start the memory diagnostics. I is only a brief overview of the program and the interface type as Memtest86 offers a complete guide to their program on the page, which you downloaded the file. If you want that more information than what is included here, see you please return to this page.
Run the diagnostic tool:
The basic diagnostic screen has five main sections of the relevant information. Three above which are marked, TEST PASS %and % # test. This will show the overall progress of the current test you basically which overall progress which is diagnostic test and the test number is currently performing.
On the middle left of the program interface is a "wall time" section, which tracked are how long the diagnostic test was run. This gives you just an idea of when you join not the testing process.
To search the main section is the lower half of the screen which is normally empty. As long as the memory test is ok without errors section of the screen should remain empty in this. If the diagnostic tool finds serious errors in the store, you see, it will show a memory dump of the address in this section. This is comparable with what on your screen is displayed, if a blue screen of death.
You most now everything, what you have to set up and test your memory with diagnostic programs need to know. This guide should help you to the source of intermittent problems related to your memory.
