Something that tests my RAM?
 

Hi.
Is there a command in XP that I can enter that'll test my RAM? I have an unfortunate feeling that my computer's memory may be going bad. Or is there a recommended program that will test it? Any suggestions? Thanks.

You need to download a bootable CD image of that program, and run it for a few hours. It will then run constant tests on your memory, and report any errors it finds. It's very useful, but because memory problems can be intermittant faults, it is vital to run it for long enough to complete at least one full pass through the whole of your RAM, and preferably more.

It's free, of course.

EDIT: How the hell did it take me six minutes to write that post? I'm sure when I clicked reply, this post wasn't completely redundant...

Thank you.

Edit:
Do I need to actually burn the image to a CD? Because I just mounted it with DAEMON Tools and I get the following:

Yeah you need to make a CD and then reboot your system, it doesn't run inside Windows.

Oh I see how this works. So basically I should run this while I'm sleeping. Thanks.
