Hello

This is a program I used when I was worried about my memory.

GoldMemory v5.07 - PC Memory Diagnostic Tests


hxxp://www.goldmemory.cz/

It runs in dos and it does take a long time to test the memory but it is very thorough

I think I was told about it from someone on this forum but I can't remember who to give the thanks too

Good Luck

you can also try DocMem from h++p/www.simmtester.com to diagnose whether the ram module is good or bad

Hi folks, most memory test proggies simply ripple through RAM in a "Sequencial Manner". There are many cases where this approach will not find RAM problems. The Best Test that I know of to check out your machine is to Install "WinXP and Office XP". If these installs are successful, then there is no problems with the RAM of your machine.....

A test like this could mean you need a spare hard drive to do the work on.
