Unexpected Shutdown & memtest
I built an HTPC & every month or two I get an error message. It usually varies slightly but always seems to come back to an unexpected shutdown per the Events Logs, at least from what I can figure out. But it never says what caused the unexpected shutdown. The last 2 times a recording was interrupted & then restarted. IOW Windows 7 rebooted by itself. But those are the only times I'm have a restart in the middle of recording.
I looked in WMC7 and a message said this was "due to a temporary failure caused by either a system malfunction or a power loss".
I've ran sfc /scannow and no problems these last 2 times. But previously it corrected errors.
I have checked PSU voltages & they are correct, and the PC is plugged into a UPS.
Anyway I wanted to run a memtest and noticed 3 different ones. memtest, memtest 86, and memtest86+.
Which one is the recommended version?
Any comments & suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
