130How to Check Your PC RAM With Windows 10 Memory Diagnostic Tool.
Your computer's RAM is key to its operation. Explained simply, RAM is your computer's short-term memory, which it uses to work on its current task. However, like any computer part, even the best RAM can break, so you'll want to know how to test whether your memory is stable or not.
Windows 10/8/7 has a Memory Diagnostic Tool which you can use to check for possible memory problems, including testing of the Random Access Memory (RAM) on your computer.
One of the first signs of memory going bad is blue screens of death (BSODs). Memory issues often make themselves easily noticeable by their rapidly increasing severity. At first, you'll only rarely experience crashes, and the system will still be workable. But before you know it, the system will crash during start-up. Therefore, it's important to identify the problem quickly.
On Windows 10, if applications keep crashing or they're running very slowly, or you're experiencing weird things, such as random reboots, freezes, or sudden Blue Screens of Death (BSOD), it could be difficult to pinpoint the root of the problem because it could be a software or hardware-related issue.
However, usually, the memory is the first thing you want to check. This is because if it's a problem with one of the modules, you'll need to take care of the issue quickly, as it cannot only cause your computer to misbehave, but a bad memory module can also corrupt files, which is not a good thing.
While there are a number of tools you can download off the internet, Windows 10 includes its own Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check if your computer has memory problems.
There are multiple ways of testing your computer's memory. We'll cover a few of them today.
