Windows Memory Diagnostic is a handy and dependable tool created by Microsoft to test the Random Access Memory (RAM) on your computer for errors. If Windows Memory Diagnostic reports any errors, then one or more memory components is failing.
To run Windows Memory Diagnostic, you must first set up Windows Memory Diagnostic on a 3.5-inch floppy disk or CD-ROM.
Steps involved1. Download mtinst.exe from the link provided below.
2. Go to the directory where you saved the Windows Memory Diagnostic executable file, mtinst.exe and run it.
3. Create a flopy or compact disk as you like.
4. Restart your computer with the flopy/CD inserted in your system.
5. In the boot sequence, the drive with the Windows Memory Diagnostic disk must precede any other devices on which there is a bootable program, such as a hard disk on which Windows is installed. You can configure the boot sequence in the BIOS settings. On most computers, the default boot sequence includes the floppy drive. For more information about configuring the boot sequence, see the documentation for your motherboard.
6. Windows Memory Diagnostic includes a comprehensive set of memory tests that provide varying degrees of testing thoroughness. The tests are organized into three predefined test suites namely basic, standard, and extended and can be selected through shortcuts.
Once you have created a diagnostic disc, it can be used to check any system in an emergency and will be an invaluable addition to your tool kit.
