Memory Diagnostics Tool

I am going to answer my own Q: After I did some reading, downloaded MemTest-86 as an ISO file which I burn on dvd. Test came out OK. Btw, the WinRar was interfering with the PowerIso and had no choice but to uninstall WinRar.

Barbarossa,

Thank you for posting back with your results. :)

You bet.:)

Hi,

I followed all the instruction but, can't seem to get the Memory Diagnostics Tool to work. All I get is a blank black screen. It's weird b/c on my wife's PC ( windows 7 also) the tool is working just fine. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.

I figured it out. Thanks anyway.

Sorry, I was wrong. The windows 7 memory diag tool is not working. I did not figure it out and still need advice.

Cosu,

You might see if running a sfc /scannow command may help and allow the Memory Diagnostics Tool to run properly afterwards.

OK. I'll do it now. Btw, I have memtest-86 on cd and it works just fine.

Did the scan and nothing changed . This is weird..........the other windows 7 pc is working fine.

I'm not sure what may be the cause of it not running properly, but as long as you are not having any other issues and still getting a clean bill of heath with Memtest86+, then I wouldn't worry about it and wait until you may need a clean install to fix it. :)

OK. Thanks Brink.
