If you've got Windows Vista or Windows 7 just boot off your installation DVD and run the Memory Diagnostics Tool from there

otherwise you can just type Memory Diagnostics Tool into the Vista/Win7 start menu and it will reboot your PC and run the Memory Diagnostics Tool

Thanks

831563 2009-11-22 05:41:00 Just tried it so I know how it works and I passed the tests which is good to know. I ran it on Win 7 home pre from the start menu as suggested gary67 (56)
831564 2009-11-22 06:55:00 I've always used MS Ram DIagnostic. It's way faster then memtest and as accurate. pctek (84)
