How to test Your Ram

[Shank]

How do you test Your Ram to see if its faulty. Is there not a program or something that can put stress on the module?

no, but it is the big bar thingy between your windows key and the altgr key. I am confident you will find it.

just launches wmd, windows memory diagnostics. or you can press F8 and select it from the menu, but space works for lazy people

I didn't actually want to know where spacebar is, but thanks for thinking for me. I thought about reading the source where you got this info (or are you going to tell me to press F1, the first F key?)

I read it in a document I got from microsoft regarding the windows recovery environment when I was implementing vista in my company

googling for
vista+spacebar+memory will correlate this.

If you have more than one module in your pc, i would suggest you run it with one module at a time. Why do you suspect something is wrong with your ram?

I downloaded the ISO of memtest and used Nero to write it on a disc. Then you boot off the disc and it'll start automatically.
