    How to Read Event Viewer Log for Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool


       Information
    This will show you how to read the Event Viewer log to see the results of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool in Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

       Note
    If you just ran the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool, then it may take a bit before it actual shows up in the Event Viewer.
       Warning
    You will need to be logged in as administrator to be able to open Event Viewer.




    Here's How:
    1. If you have not already, you will need to have ran the Memory Diagnostics Tool prior before it will be in the Event Viewer System log.

    2. Open the Start Menu, and type eventvwr.msc in the search box and press enter.

    3. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes (Windows 7) or Continue (Vista).

    4. In the left pane of Event Viewer, double click on Windows Logs to expand it, then right click on System and click on Find. (see screenshot below)

    Hello bangdosa, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Was the Memory Diagnostics Tool able to completely finish running before checking the log?

    I believe it did. I know it got to around 80%ish before I looked away. Next thing I saw was windows starting. should I try it again and see if it does finish? when it finishes should it automatically restart or results show?

    It'll automatically restart when ran.

    It may take a bit before it actual shows up in Event Viewer since you just ran it.

    Did you run the tool from within Windows? (not in Safe Mode)

    If you can't get any results, then you might give a Memtest86+ a try instead.
