What was I supposed to do? Memory diagnostics

Hi ! Nick Murarik here with a great new product! Here's how to order. Just kidding. It's not new, and it's FREE!

MemTest86 is a bootable (ISO) image that does memory diagnostics. If you made the UBCD from my last post you're ready to go. If not, you need to go do that, or head over to memtest86.com and download the iso and burn it to a disc. You can always order one from those guys too. (But it's free to download.)



I say in the video to let this run overnight. I'm serious. Do it. It might be the difference between a good and bad diagnostic.

If you do get an error, I'll explain tomorrow how to troubleshoot and figure out which module is bad. (If I can find a firewire cable to hook-up my video camera to my computer.)

P.S. I might have fibbed about the ten seconds. It takes ten seconds to start the test. Not run it. Har har har.

I like Kingston memory. Good price, and reliability.
