| 838231 | 2009-12-10 02:04:00 | I've downloaded Memtest and burned it on CD. It is 46KB compressed. Then put the CD in PC I wanted to test and thought it would run at boot. Did not. Any ideas? Thanks |

| 838233 | 2009-12-10 02:38:00 | Or if you want to persist with memtest, ensure you have this file: www.memtest86.com Then do this: "To build a boot-able CD-ROM use your CD burning software to create an image from the un-zipped ISO file. Be sure to use a create from image option. DO not simply copy the file to a CD." http://www.memtest86.com/ |

| 838235 | 2009-12-10 03:50:00 | If you have Vista or Windows 7 just click the Start button, then type "mem" and you should see "Windows Memory Diagnostic". It'll prompt you to restart your PC and then it will do the same thing as memtest86+ | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 838236 | 2009-12-10 22:50:00 | You must extract the ISO file from the ZIP file first Then go to your burning program and find the option called "Burn Image" and select the ISO image file if you just burnt the ISO or ZIP file to a data CD it won't work. If you did burn it correctly, then your PC is not booting from the disc properly |

| 838237 | 2009-12-11 02:48:00 | If you have Vista or Windows 7 just click the Start button, then type "mem" and you should see "Windows Memory Diagnostic". Which is MSs RAM Diagnostic built in rather than on disk. I prefer the disk, don't entirely trust the O/S if there is a fault. |
