memtest86 and 4Gb RAM

Computer Aid Posted on 26 December, 2009 by Luigi Martin26 December, 2009

The computer had some unusual problems, so a memory test was an obvious test.

I ran my usual memory test: memtest86

But when I ran the test, the computer would immediately reset.

After running a different memory test (with no fault found), I eventually realised that the fault was not with the RAM, it was with memtest86.

After some research, I found that running a 32-bit application (like memtest86), meant that there is scope for potential problems, as 32-bit applications can only address 4Gb, so at the limits of RAM, its possible for errors to cause problems.

So from now on, I’ll be careful about testing Ram of 4Gb or more.
