The Windows Memory Diagnostic tests the Random Access Memory (RAM) on your computer for errors. The diagnostic includes a comprehensive set of memory tests. If you are experiencing problems while running Windows, you can use the diagnostic to determine whether the problems are caused by failing hardware, such as RAM or the memory system of your motherboard. Windows Memory Diagnostic is designed to be easy and fast. On most configurations, you can download the diagnostic, read the documentation, run the test and complete the first test pass in less than 30 minutes.

To run Windows Memory Diagnostic, you must reboot your computer with the disk or CD-ROM on which you installed Windows Memory Diagnostic in the drive. After the reboot, Windows Memory Diagnostic will load and its interface will appear.
After loading, the first test pass will begin, using the default standard test suite, and continue until complete, unless Windows Memory Diagnostic is either paused or exited. Once the first test pass is complete, Windows Memory Diagnostic will begin a second test pass using the same settings as before. Windows Memory Diagnostic will continue to run test passes until you exit.
This memory dianostic tool is easy to use. Just download, run it, agree to its end-user license agreement for microsoft software, and you’ll be presented with a simple interface to create a bootable diskette or CD.

If you click on the Create Startup Disk, just enter a floppy diskette and it will automatically create a bootable memory diagnostic bootdisk. If you click on the Save CD Image to Disk, it will create an ISO file which you need to use CD Burning software such as Nero to burn the ISO to your CD-R or CD-RW.

Those who are having issues making a bootable CD – you cant just save the .ISO file to cd – you need to use a program that can burn the CONTENTS of the ISO to CD – think of ISO files like ZIP or other compressed files – it is just a container to hold them.
Get the BurnCDCC app – open it and hit “browse” . Select the ISO image file you want to burn and once it is done the cd should be bootable.
All memcheck softwares not ‘fool-proof’, for comprehensive testing you need RAM testers (hardware)

Es la mejor herramienta para esas pantallas azules lo mejor es probar cada una si se tiene mas de una memoria porque el programa no indica cual memoria es la defectuosa.

Raymond…I just read your help page with Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. I did download it and save it to a CD. I restarted my machine with the CD in it as it says to do, but no interface came up on the screen. Nothing happens. I get the open with message, but there’s no program on the list I can find to run windiag with. Windows is giving me so many nightmare problems that I hate to turn on my machine.
