Windows Memory Diagnostic - testing very long

and23 · 27 Mar 2016 at 11:22

Hello dear forum. I have an another question to you

So my ram are 2x8gb DDR3 Kingston Hyperx 1600mhz.
I decide to check ram by Windows Memory Diagnostic from Windows 10.
But i dont know why it taking so long. In options i choose 2 loops and Extended test.

Currently i am on 90% of 1 loop and 45% overall. And i am on 14 hour in test. Is this normal or something wrong?

I am kinda worry because somebody with 16gb ram too, said :"For the record, it took just less than 8 hours for the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to run thru 2 testing cycles on 16GB of RAM I was testing."

So i am on 14 hour and its 45% , but he finished test less than 8 hours. Whats wrong?

Use Memtest for testing ram far quicker and better.

Memtest86 not showing errors. But i was get weird crashes in Black ops 3 so thats why i try WINDOWS MEM DIAGNostics. I dont know why it taking so long.
I choose 2 loops and extended test.

Is your CPU overclocked if it is try upping the core voltage a notch ot two, watch your temps, apart from that does everything else run ok?

yes ok apart of Black Ops 3. BUt i dont know why Windows Memory Diagnostics taking so long.
I am on 45% overall and on 90% in 1 loop of 2. And now is 14 hour of test.But no errors messages. So is this normal time duration? Wait more or stop test?

My rams are 2x8GB

Somebody with 16gb ram finish 2 extended loops in 8 hours.

I can go to options in test so it not freeze. But i dont know why it taking 14 hours to finish 90% of 1 loop. Somebody said:"
It took my system 26 hours to run 4 passes of the extended test and I have only two 8 GB modules."

So he finish 4 passes in 26 hours, so why i almost finish 1 pass on 14 hour?
