memtest86 should be what you're looking for

Yeah, Memtest is very good! Try and find the one that you can run in Windows

+1 for memtest. All u do is create a floppy off it, and then boot from it when u start up ur computer and run it. the best time to run memtest would be when ur sleeping, let it run all night,

Can Memtest86 be uploaded to a flash drive and then booted from it if your motherboard has the flash drive boot option?

I don't have a floppy drive anymore.

Think they do bootable CD

For windows installation begin by downloading either the Pre-Compiled Windows package to build a boot-able floppy disk or an ISO (zip version) to create a boot-able CD-ROM

To build a boot-able CD-ROM use your CD burning software to create an image from the un-zipped ISO file.
