You will want to boot to this cd. It will not run inside of Windows. To boot to a cd you will want to consult your Computer manual. What is the make and model of your computer?

WHEW! I googled booting to cd, went in and changed the boot sequence order and FINALLY the Memtest is running... I hope its the right one, but its a blue and red screen and seems very busy

[anzenketh]

Ravantwin,

That would be the one let us know the results.

[ravantwin]

o.k. i will

[ravantwin]

Uhmm... The Memtest86 has been running for 20 hours and 53 minutes. Should I be alarmed or just let it keep running? Thanks, Sharon

[anzenketh]

Memtest86 will continue to run until stopped. Go ahead and report if you have any errors.

[ravantwin]

Memtest has now been running for 35 hours, where would I see the errors at? There is an errors with a number under it, and an errs with a number under it. thanks

[anzenketh]

Go ahead and post the number of errors.

[ravantwin]

Memtest is still running. Underneath ERRORS, there is the number 32014336. Underneathe ERRS is the number 0. The Memtest is STILL running, 47 hrs now.

Ok your memory has failed diagnostics have failed. Your memory or mainboard will have to be replaced. You can stop the Memtest by just turning off your computer. How many memory modules do you have?

TY, I'm not sure how many memory modules I have, How would I determine this? Also, what could have caused this to happen so I might prevent it in the future? Here is the spec sheet of the laptop... I believe the memory is the 2 GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667 MHz but not sure how many modules that is

Is your computer in warranty?

[happyrock]

for the future just press the ESC key to stop memtest running...

[ravantwin]

I think it is under warranty, basically, everything you see on the order list there... including the warranties, does it mean it will cover this problem? Also, what made this happen? Thanks, Sharon
