Windows 7 includes built-in features to help you identify and diagnose problems with memory.
If you suspect a computer has a memory problem that isn’t being automatically detected, you can run the Windows Memory Diagnostics utility by completing the following steps:
.
Once you click on that, you’ll be given the option to either restart the computer and test the memory now, or to test the memory on the next system restart.
Unless you’re in a rush right now to find out, go ahead and choose the restart option.
Windows Memory Diagnostics runs automatically after the computer restarts and performs a standard memory test automatically.
If you want to perform fewer or more tests, press F1, use the Up and Down arrow keys to set the Test Mix as Basic, Standard, or Extended, and then press F10 to apply the desired settings and resume testing.
When testing is completed, the computer restarts automatically. You’ll see the test results when you log on.
