Memory testing utility

[Splash]

Hi

I have deduced that I have a problem with my RAM, and after running Memtest86+ last night it confirmed the issue. My question is this - I have 3 modules and was wondering if there's a memory testing utility that I can run which will tell me which module is faulty - I'd rather not have to test each individual module for 14 hours if at all possible...

I appreciate that such a thing may not exist, but if it does could someone point me in the right direction? Google seems to point all queries to either memtest86 or memtest86+, neither of which do this. Also the Windows Memory Diagnostic failed to find any errors with any of the modules, which is a pain.

I'd have to say if it does exist, I haven't found it yet.

Does it tell you what memory range it is in? that should limit which modules you need to test - or at least give you an idea which ones to test first?

I'm afraid you're going to have to run memtest on each of them individually and it may take several passes to find the fault(s). Make sure you're using the latest version (86 is very old now):

In all honesty it was last night and I was tired so I can't remember... I then ran the scan overnight on just the first module which came up clean, and another test on the second module today while I was at work (also clean) and I'm wondering if it's possibly just an incompatibility between modules? That said they've been running fine as they were for the best part of 18 months...

Worst case scenario is I'll just rescan all the modules for the same length as the initial scan (around 14 hours) rather than the 9 or 10 hours that the second module got today.

EDIT - I just grabbed the latest version of memtest86+ - cheers
