HOW TO TEST YOUR COMPUTER'S MEMORY

NOTE: Don't expect to diagnose a memory module with only one pass. You must burn-in or stress memory modules to find out if there is something wrong.

In order to fully test memory, it needs to be used at its maximum capacity - and this requires multiple passes.

You can determinate, depending on the processor speed and size of memory, how long the tests must be run in the system.

For this reason the memory tests in both MemScope and MicroScope have been designed to run in an infinite loop - so will run for as long as you set them to or unitl you tell them to stop.

(Instructions)

1) Download the program from M2K website

2) Double-click on the program to create a floppy diskette or burn the ISO file to CD

3) Boot the PC to the floppy or CD

4) First 2 screen will display M2K product descriptions

5) Program will display on the left hand side Main Menu and then follow the instructions!

Here's an email we received recently from a Memscope user - you can download your own copy at http://www.micro2000.co.uk/products/microscope/MemScope_Free_Memory_Tester.htm

"Your Memscope has worked very well for me.

I recently used it to diagnose a PC which had the nasty habit of crashing on an intermittent basis.
I ran a couple of my normal diagnostic programs, which reported, " no errors"

I ran Memscope and did as you mentioned.... let it run...

after about an hour and a half it returned a couple errors.

I have replaced the module and so far so good. Thanks."

Free Computer Memory Tester

Have you tested your memory recently?

Memory problems can manifest themselves in many ways - so, if a PC isn't running 100%, ruling this out first is sometimes a good place to start!

But anyone who has used a DOS or O/S based memory tester knows that the results can be inaccurate because these testers do not communicate directly with the hardware itself, and based on this there are even certain areas that they cannot test at all.

Fortunately MemScope - our FREE MEMORY TESTER - is completely operating system independent - so it gives you the most accurate results possible!

And to give you a 'head start' we have posted a 'guide' to the various types of errors, with the most likely reason for each failure, on the following link CLICK HERE.
