    Testing Memory

    I want to test my memory, I tryed using MEMTEST86 but i'm having problems loading it onto a disc, and I do not have any floppys, any suggestions on another memory tester? Also does anyone know any good programs that monitor your pc temps?

    make a boot cd
    MemTest86 is the original self booting memory testing software for x86 and ARM computers. Supporting both BIOS and UEFI, with options to boot from USB.

        For computer temp monitoring, either google or do a forum search for "Everest" it will tell you loads of good info about your system.


        Chewy, would his bios have to be set for boot from cd rom rather than boot from floppy drive?

            I downloaded the iso, dbclicked it after extracting, imgburn loaded, I gave it a cd-r and set burn speed to 16x, burned 1.8MB

            set bios to boot to cd first, after booting the test started by itself

                    hey,
                    no need to apologize, a year ago I got hold of the german version, included a boot loader, ended up with a non-removable gui at boot, after about 3 months
                    killed the thing by deleting all partitions.

                      Wanna stress your system - go get ORTHOS. If it passes 4-6 hours on that, you're safe forever.

                        Thxs again chewy!

                        That sounds dangerous for my poor old dell, I think its enough that I tinker with it every day. That probally stresses it out enough. How would I go about burning setup programs to a disk. For example avg's installer on a disk so I could transport it to another computer without internet acces. Or HD Tune's installer so I have a portable hard drive checker?

                        Also I tryed that everest which had too much info for me lol. But I was hoping for a program that sits in my system tray or something that informs me of the temps in my system, so that I can watch them?

                          just put all your installer programs in a folder and burn that to a cd-r with nero or imgburn.

                          everest won't give you that type of readout but if you spot check using sensor you can watch temps that way

                          speedfan is one that probably does what you want but all these take resources to run
