Thank you for what you do. You are awesome.

Great little program to check if the memory is faulty the only downside is it takes 3 hours to check the memory other than that awesome program.

I have a singular and pressing question that has been on my mind ever since I encountered your impressive work. How on earth did you manage to compress the zip file down to a mere size of 11.5 megabytes? It is truly remarkable, especially when considering that the original image file, which you presumably worked with, has a considerable size of 1 gigabyte. This discrepancy in size raises some intriguing thoughts about the methods or techniques you employed to achieve such an efficient compression. I’m genuinely curious about the process behind it, as the ability to significantly reduce file sizes while retaining quality is not only fascinating but seems incredibly valuable in various fields. Your approach could potentially have implications that extend beyond this particular instance, especially in situations where file size can be a limiting factor in transfer and storage. This is not just a matter of curiosity for me; it directly impacts my professional work and future endeavors. I would greatly appreciate any insight you could provide regarding how this transformation was accomplished.

Sorry for being really green on the whole computer thing but I am at the step that says "Restart your PC and enter the UEFI BIOS to boot from the usb" How do i enter UEFI BIOS to boot from usb?

Not sure if you noticed, but there is a big typo right in the title screen...

[TheWarHorse]

I'm running an insyde bios and I cannot get it to run memtest

[violetwolfz]

Hey for ram Info it says : xmp 3597 and the timings with it, but I overclocked my ram that’s why I wanted to test it for stability, is there a way to fix this ?

Hi Guys, Nice product. Was checking the website and the price was a bit dear for a single user. Would it be feasible to bring the price down a bit for the pro version (for personal and non commercial use)? Might be worth exploring.

This background music will forever be the "Habie147 video" soundtrack in my mind, I'm sorry

I'm experiencing something weird. I just built myself a 2700X + Gigabyte B450M Aorus Elite + Teamgroup dual channel (2x8) DDR4-3600. Placed the DIMMs in slots 2 and 4. Memtest86 fails at 3200MT/s and above using XMP timings. Switched the DIMMs to slots 1 and 3, got even more errors at 3200. Switched back to slots 2 and 4 and now Memtest86 passes 3200 twice already. Ok why is it suddenly running well now?? 3600 is still failing but I think it's because of the memory controller and not the DIMMs.

Hey, I've got a strange thing happening where MT only boots after I remove the USB stick, after selecting either one of the partitions. Otherwise, with the stick in, all I get is a black screen.

I've tried different USB ports too, and it makes no difference.

I have an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, with the latest non beta uefi, and it's in uefi mode (csm is the other).

[vincentanno]

Im stuck at step 5. What do I have to do when restarting the computer? Just leave the stick in the computer and restart? Or restart the computer and then insert the stick?

[Ponlets]

did not work wont boot into the usb drive

i am using UEFI with an asus ROG motherboard with the GUI bios thing

[stanb]

Huh, Memtest86 looks a lot different to what I remember.

[tjyuni]

When I am running the test, there comes a time when my pc reboots itself (around 58%) and I can't see the end of the test. What could be causing this reboot?

[naircat]

usb devices dont appear in my bios D; hitting f12 on dell xps desktop. super frustrating
