How do I see the results of Memory Diagnostic I ran

Hi,

You will find the memory diagnostic log under ‘Event Viewer’.

What information appears in the event a log?

You may try the following steps:

a)    Under ‘Event Viewer’ expand ‘Windows Log’ and right-click on ‘System’ and click on ‘Find’.

b)    Type in ‘MemoryDiagnostics-Results’ and click on ‘Find Next’.

Hi,

Memory tests do not catch all errors such as mismatched memory (possible even for sticks
that appear to be identical) and when faster memory is placed in system behind slower memory.
So it is best to also swap sticks in and out to check for those even if all memory tests fail to show
a problem.

To test RAM check here - let it run 4+ hours or so.   <-- best method
