How to Test Computer Memory For Errors

How to test computer memory to determine if it's bad, MemTest86 is software that is used to test memory Ram with different algorithms and test patterns. Its free to use and is a great way to test memory if your having errors, BSOD, PC crashing or the computer keeps freezing. these could be sign of a bad memory module.

How long to run memtest? I would say you want to do a minimum of 4 passes and if you get errors after or before this time, stop the scan early and replace or swap out the memory.

How do you fix a bad memory module? You don't. you replace the memory if any errors are show after scanning with MemTest86

The same testing method is use for laptop and desktop ram.
