This software comes with WIN 10. I can test the memory, but I can never find the results of the test. Anyone know how to find them?
I'm really starting to doubt the problems you're describing is the problem you're actually running into.The free version they offer me is corrupt.

Right.
Expand this spoiler. My screenshots are a bit big. This is a step by step guide to making a disk of memtest86 for free. Well, maybe 7 pence if you count the cost of a blank disk.
Go to memtest86.com
The site looks like this:

This will take you to a page. Look for "windows downloads". Click "IMAGE FOR CREATING A BOOTABLE CD.".

When it has downloaded, open your Downloads folder and find memtest86-iso.zip
Right click it and select extract. You should now have the zip file and a folder with the same name.

Open the folder.
There is a readme.txt file and a file called Memtest86-6.x.x.iso
Where x is some number (at the time of writing it is 6.3.0
Put a blank CD or DVD into your computer disk drive.
Right click the memtest86-6.x.x.iso file.

Select BURN TO DISK or the option with words to that effect. Do not choose mount, or double click it, as this isnt what you want.
A little window will show up. Burn the disk with it.

Now once you have done this, reply for the next step.
If you get round to running Memtest. It will probably look like this.

Sorry if the pictures are massive. This is on my phone as you can guess. Except the second to last image ofc.
Thanks
I have put the Memtest on a disc. Awaiting reply as to go ahead instructions.Thank you for the instructions, SpriteMidr. I have already done all this, but I put the download on a flash drive. My computer tells me the info on the flash drive is corrupt. I have chosen not to download the Memtest for $39, because I don't want to pay the money. I am thinking maybe the info on the flash drive became corrupt for some reason I don't understand.
What instructions? You burned it to a disc. Now put the disc in, reboot the computer, and boot to the disc.I have put the Memtest on a disc. Awaiting reply as to go ahead instructions.

I get no window on the desktop when I put the disc in the drive. Where is the stuff on the disc? Should I download the disc again from the Memtest site?You know how to boot the disk right? Go ahead
Just a quick note, Memteset86+ is free and always will be. What you've downloaded is Memtest86 (not confusing at all right)...which is owned by Passmark a for profit company. They make a free version available, but also sell the $39 version you saw.Is there a way to download the Memtest86+ software without paying for it? The free version they offer me is corrupt.
Money is a problem. I like fooling around with computers.I honestly think you just need to take it to a shop, you appear to be in over your head and are liable to cause more problems than you're going to fix.
