Hiya guys, think I may a slight problem with my pc. It has crashed quite a few times today and ive not installed anything. So iam usually told to check the ram first.

Can you tell me how I go abouts running memtest? Thanks all

Thanks a lot, that link for memtest will that run in vista x64 ok?

When you say burn to cd, do I need to select a data cd?

This version of memtest will run in Windows

http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ I have used it a lot and found it will stress your memory far more than memtest in Dos.

Also if you have Vista you can use windows inbuilt memory test

Ive used that program before actually. Thanks will try that first and also the vista version.
