memory diagnostic tool Memtest86 is a standalone memory diagnostic tool that runs from a CD on system boot. It executes a series of numbered test sections to check for errors. These test sections consist of a combination of test algorithm, data pattern and cache setting. The execution order for these tests were arranged so that errors will be detected as rapidly as possible. Tests 8, 9, 10 and 11 are very long running extended tests and are only executed when extended testing is selected. Memtest86 supports all types of memory and can be run on any operating system. You will download an ISO file that you can burn to CD. Less than 4GB of RAM only!

Good at what it does 5 stars by gimpguy (Read all my 655 reviews)
I use this for all memory tests and basically, it detects when ram is bad and is very thorough. It's easy to use, free, and is trusted for results by many techs. I feel it's a must have. showShow review details
Memtest86+ 4 stars by btk1w1 (Read all my 5 reviews)
I recently bought 2 new sticks of ram for a home pc that I wanted to run a test on. I tried unsuccessfully to use memtest86 as I was unable to burn iso image to disk. After researching I found another version, memtest86+, based on the original mtest86, and was able to use the guide to burn a bootable disk and run the program. I let it run for a couple of hours in which it stringently ran 10 different tests, gave diagnostics and thankfully found no errors with the ram. showShow review details
Good diagnostic for memory 4 stars by TechnoSapien (Read all my 3 reviews)
I had built a new high-end gaming/development PC and everything was running fine. Two weeks later I was having all sorts of issues booting up and running applications. It wasn't until I used this utility to check the 2 GB of RAM I had placed in the box that I found the issue. A bad memory module from a cheap supplier I had chosen. You get what you pay for, right. It's the best memory diagnostic I've come across so far. showShow review details
