When Memtest86 and WMD test fail?
I'm helping a friend with a Dell Dimension 2350 1gig Ram Pentium 4. His XP was virus-riddled and hung horribly even after clean up with SysFiles repaired. HD cleared diagnostics, wiped HD, ran memtest86 which shut down test both times at 3% first pass.
Now in Win7 having similar problems with hangs, tried WMD test which also failed at 5%.
What is the cause of failure of memtest or WMD test to even run?
We are removing one RAM stick to try test on each stick and then use a good stick to test slots. Any other suggestions?
Update: First stick, first slot, WMD test stopped at 5%
Update: First stick second slot, WMD test stopped at 8%
Update: Stick 2 slot one, WMD test stops at 3%
