How to use memtest v2.01

**RasMus** · 09-07-2009

I am using the current memtest available (version 2.01), I can't figure out how to burn memtest to a cd in order to use it when I boot up my PC. I been getting some strange errors that I think are ram related. but i think i could solve that problem if you guide me with the easy way.

Download the ISO current version (memtest86+-1.70.iso.zip) to your PC.

Extract the .zip file to anywhere on you hard drive a location that you know, like the Desktop or Downloads folder or next to the .zip file. You should end up with the file Memtest86+-2.01.iso

Go to your favorite CD burning software, and choose to burn from an image file. Simply point to the memtest.iso file and hit the "burn" button.

Insert a blank CD into the drive the iso file will get copied same as you want.

You can burn with image burn because its free, but you can also do it with nero, or other burning tools. If you use Dual channel or multiple sticks of RAM, take all of them out so you have just the one plugged into the primary slot. keep in mind that often if both sticks of ram come with errors, then it is often another problem with the motherboard or another hardware issue. Run the test and swap with the other sticks until all is tested individually. Don't forget to turn off and unplug your PC before removing/replacing any components. If you do get errors, that means that the stick you have currently is incompatible or faulty or if you're lucky, its only a dirty slot or contact on the module/motherboard.
