Memtest 86

Memtest 86 has changed drastically since the last time I needed to use it.

I am running Win 7 32 bit and it is slower than you can believe and it is a new install with all the updates.

I wanted to run Memtest 86 to see if it was the memory causing the problem. I believe I have checked everything else.

The problem I ran into was trying to figure out which Memtest 86 to download and NOT have to burn to a DVD. I tried the latest version (I think) burned to a DVD and that did NOT work even though it was an ISO file.

I DO need some help with this thank you

Thanks a lot. I hope I got everything I need now.

BTW I did run the Memory Diagnostics Tool built into Windows 7 and it did NOT find anything.

I have one issue (maybe more) with that the tutorial. On the first Method (With a USB Memory Stick) it say to download "Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool" and it has a link to where that tool should be located.

I see six (6) options and NONE has the title "Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool".

The same issue exists if I go to method 2 (With a CD) to download " Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool.. This is the same tool as Method 1 and dang if I see it.

These are the ones I see:


Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.gz)
Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)

Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable Binary (.gz)
Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable Binary (.zip)

Download - Auto-installer for USB Key (Win 9x/2k/xp/7) *NEW!*
Download - Pre-Compiled package for Floppy (DOS - Win)

Which one do I use???

Thanks I will try the one for CD and see how it goes.
