Checking RAM Memtest86 (crash games, pc restart, overclock)

Checking RAM Memtest86

Checking RAM Memtest86

RAM is one of the most important components of the system, without which our computer would be much slower.
RAM can sometimes hurt, and unfortunately there was no warning system when it happens. Sometimes the operating system feels RAM problems, but these problems often go unnoticed and appear when your baby's world; For example in games where RAM is asked intensively, we get suddenly a crash or simply an unexpected reboot of the entire PC.

Misled to check RAM

RAM problems sometimes resembles problems that some sources have, and therefore can be easily misled. Also in error and it induces the utility from Windows, which should test your RAM, but can not do too well because while running Windows, is loaded into RAM part. Exactly how you should change as you go wheel drive (this goes).

Signs that show us RAM problems:

1. PC does not start from the first
2. At its start is one more restart
3. PC reboots out of the blue
4. PC crashes
5. We crashes during games
6. Errors installing programs
7. The entire PC hard move
8. blue screen

Why spoil your RAM?

1. The temperature
2. Manufacturing defects
3. accidental bumping
4. Aging cells (a few thousand rewrites)

How to check RAM?

Memtest86 is a small application that runs in on a live USB stick. We do not just have to put your PC to boot from the stick and all RAM will automatically start scanning.
I did another tutorial about Memtest86, which was not so detailed… 😉
CAREFUL
To a certain outcome, you must run at least 86 pass Memtest10 sites.

  • what kind of film that is filmed darkening the square so to speak? and not for the world tota solution if you have linux distribution is based ain order that tells you pb with rami

  • Hello! I also have a problem with my laptop and if you find a solution, please do a tutorial. I installed Windows 10 on SSD (Samsung 840 Evo) + drivers, etc. When I reconnect the HDD back, Windows does not the HDD sees it, than the Bios sees it. The SDS is formatted GPT and the HDD is MBR. I tried to install Windows 7, and on 7 after I finish the installation and reconnect the hard disk- The laptop has no problem, instead the 10 jumps on the damblaua and he doesn't see it, neither in Device Manager, nor in Disk Management, nor in the command line, nowhere ... Until 2 days ago it was going well and with 10 installed in UEFI mode, and the hard disk very well, everything works. Now it doesn't want any color with 10, because I installed it for trial and in legacy mode and in vain. I rubbed it today many times , yes with 7, yes with 10. In Windows 7 it works, in Windows 10 no, Yes I even installed it and with the had-disk connected to see, I thought that if I only leave the ssd during the installation , maybe he recovers, in vain! What would be the bug and how can I fix it. The phase is that I don't want to go to the hard drive because I have important things on it. Where can I post the video to see exactly what is happening?

  • I have been using memtest for over 5-6 years.
    I already knew the schedule. One pass is enough, you don't need more (if you put your PC in service, I don't think it will last for hours just to test a poor memory).
    This program never disappointed me. I consider the program essential for any IT troubleshooter. If you work in the IT field (in service) you can't miss a memtest; if you clearly miss it in vain you work.

  • CICA few Rewriting me .. I knew that RAM can be written to infinity. Since there are capacitor charging and download diodes do not flash. Infine .. but do not think I need to say more still do not think mise approve this comment

    • I didn't pay much attention to the pass ... when testing memories. I was watching how much% tested from EA ... sometimes it gave me error when it was nearing the end. SO the program must be allowed to test for some time. Yes in about 15 to 20 minutes if something goes wrong.

    • @ Dan
      E volatile memory, is why they load and unload whatever.

      Cristi.

      With this software you can't identify if 2 memories are 100% compatible with each other, I say if they are a different series or manufacturer. It is another similar application as a test method.

  • Very good tutorials and how many.
    You can do a tutorial on how CHDK on Canon cameras.
    Thank you.

  • Hello, I would need help: I ​​ran the memtest program and after 30 seconds my computer shuts down, should the processor become hot? I mention that I have an amd athlon processor overclocked to amd phenom (not by me) stock cooler and the thermal paste has not been changed (so the paste is 4 years old). In fact, such crashes were the reason why I ran a memtest. And to put you even more in the fog when I start the computer often does not want to boot in windows or it crashes, it works hard, rarely when it feels like going fast at first (I also checked the hard drive with cristaldiskinfo and it tells me that ii good) although I noticed that when I turn on the computer and want to boot in windows the red light on the case often goes out and stays like that (obviously the boot process is blocked) (please excuse me but I forgot what it means these two light bulbs the one with the red cylinder and the one with the green light I know that one is from the hard drive or processor). I apologize for the inconvenience and the description is a bit unclear. Thank you !

  • so I don't understand anything anymore ... today I got the ram memory, a kingston of 4gb ddr3 at 1600mhz cl11 (the memory that is on the computer and that gave me the headache is zeppelin of 4gb ddr3 at 1333 mhz, the board the basic is asrock 880gm it supports 1333 mhz without overclock and up to 2100 or something like overclock, and it also supports dual channel). I put the new memory (kingston) together with the old one, I let it start and nothing boots. I take out the old one and let the new one boot, and I try the other way around and it boots like that (with the old one in single channel). I'm thinking of resetting his bios, said and done I removed the battery, I moved that cover over the other contacts, I put it back and I put the new memory alone (single channel), it boots perfectly, then I give it to run memtest and I leave it for an hour, after a step and a half I got bored and considering that it ran perfectly I closed the test. I go on, I stay on youtube, etc., and I see that it works, I stop it and put it back next to the new memory on the old one, again, no movement from the computer. I remove the new memory and leave the old one, it boots (the right ones don't like the new one), but this time it also runs a memtest, passes the first pass and no error. In this case, what do I do, considering that the memories don't want to work together. Although that's how I knew, that's what the people I bought from told me that it has to work only because these new memories don't work. to go to the frequency of 1600 but to 1333. Thank you in advance!

    • Did you check that Max Bandwidth to be the same? This is also the reason why it does not start with both memories installed.
      Speaking of CL that, with the lower the amount of both memory is faster.

      • zeppelin 4 gb ddr3 1333mhz cl9 ZE-ddr3- 4G1333b (hold many info about it)
        kingston ValueRam 4 gb ddr3 1600mhz CL11 srx8 low profile [# 523669 | KVR16N11S8 / 4].
        Start by running together, boots and 8 gb recognize my window, I am.uitat and AMD overdrive and bios and thousands admits to 1333 MHz dual channel, just like this morning when I gave it a test run 6% in memtest stopped on the computer (setup was this: cele.doua memory in dual channel and overclock the CPU (the release of a core of the phenom athlon)). Now I reset the BIOS, CPU normal as I left the factory, and I gave him to run memtest, are 30% and I do not have an error

        • I forgot to tell you that in the upper left memtest under cpu clk are L1 cahe and L2 cache. L1 row to show me 128k 38737 mb / s (old memory zeppelin) and L2 shows me 512k 17245 mb / s down below them Scriri Memory 8191M 4292 mb / s (new kingston memory)

          • ready to solve the problem is the processor, because averclockului heats up and stops, we found that because every time you run the memtest with shock settings closes, and every time I run continuously without going oc. I'm sorry to bother you !

  • I apologize for posts elsewhere, and I now go back and put overclock settings. Tomorrow let him appear in memtest and if something's not right post, I hope I do not become too insistent. Once again thank you!

    • That's exactly what I was thinking: about how long does it last? I think it depends on the configuration but I was still thinking about a landmark ...
