Memtest is exactly what it sounds like, it tests your memory for errors.

 

[twolves90]

ok, do i download it or is it a tool in windows, or what?

Memtest can be ran in windows, sure. Memtest86, on the other hand, needs to be put on a floppy and ran at system boot.

 

[twolves90]

where do i find it in windows?

It's a program that you have to install. It's not included.

lol thanks for all the feedback everyone....

however, can anyone just tell me what I must do to get memtest on my system

Okay,

1. Download this program: http://hcidesign.com/memtest/MemTest.zip
2. Unzip it to anywhere
3. Run the unzipped program.
4. Bow to my skill, just kidding
