Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone
memory test for x86 architecture
computers. BIOS based memory
tests are a quick, cursory check and
often miss many of the failures that
are detected by Memtest86.
Memtest86 was developed by
Chris Brady with a first release
in 1994. However, the testing algorithms used have been under development
since 1981 and have been previously implemented on Dec PDP-11,
VAX-11/780 and Cray XMP architectures. Development and distribution
of Memtest86 is now funded and supported by BradyTech Inc.
Windows Installation
For windows installation begin by downloading either the Pre-Compiled Windows
package to build a boot-able floppy disk or an ISO (zip version) to create
a boot-able CD-ROM. After the file is downloaded an extract must be
done to uncompress the file(s). To extract right click on the downloaded
file and select the "Extract All" option. The extract option will let you choose
where the files will be extracted to. To build a bootable floppy go the the
folder where the files were extracted and click on the Install icon. The floppy
disk will appear to be unformatted by Windows after the install is complete.
To build a boot-able CD-ROM use your CD burning software to create an image
from the un-zipped ISO file.
Note: Since Memtest86 is a standalone program
it does not require any operating system support for execution. It can
be used with any PC regardless of what operating system, if any, is installed.
The test image may be loaded from a floppy disk or may be loaded
via LILO on Linux systems. Any Unix, Windows or DOS system may be
used to create a boot floppy or bootable CD-ROM.
Beginning with version 4.1.0 all images (CD, USB and Floppy Disk)
use ISO-Linux/Syslinux for booting providing a number of boot time
options and the three latest versions (currently 3.5b, 4.0b and 4.1.0) of Memtest86.
