Could this be a faulty CPU or is it Ram?

I cant get memtest to work from my flobby boot up, how do you use it? Ive also tried adjusting volts and timings to ram, makes no difference, any other ideas? Just let me know on that memtest how to use it other than from floppy, does it have to boot at startup?
 
Geordie, this is about the 3rd thread you've got going on this one thing mate, I understand it must be really frustrating for you but it makes it difficult for us to all give you proper advice when theres different people posting in different threads. Youre better off sticking with one and being patient (hard I know). Any news on the message from the BSOD yet?
