How to perform PC Memory Test

System Memory

Let’s face it – when your computer is running slow, what you first think of it? That you need to upgrade your RAM or PC memory, right? Well RAM or Random Access Memory is the PC memory that I was talking about, and many of you might already knew that. RAM stores all the temporary files and programs needed to execute by the windows operating system (OS). A PC uses RAM to do that because it’s faster than the hard disk or any other storage device for that matter.

A little issue in the RAM can determine how a PC works. The worst case scenario that it might corrupt all the datas you have stored in the hard drives. So a PC memory test comes in to the picture to fix that problem, so you can prevent those RAM nightmares even before they happen to you!

When there is a RAM problem?

If even after you clean your computer with antivirus and antispyware programs, the computer is still unable to get rid of re-occurring errors, or if the system restore fails even after restoring all the registry and other datas, then there is a problem with your RAM!

How to perform PC memory test?

1. The first method is using a memory tester bootable USB or floppy disk. The tool helps reporting the errors within your memory module. In case if you have multiple memory modules, you need to isolate them and perform test of each of them individually.
2. The second test is performed, after the first test fails. In that case the problem is with your RAM chip being incompatible with the hardware of your computer. In that case the remedy is to take the RAM and perform the first test on second computer. If even that test fails then there is a hardware problem and you need to change your RAM.

Those are how to perform memory test. If you once knew those steps you can get started when ever you sense there is a RAM problem. You can by doing these avoid going to the professionals and save time and money!

If RAM test passes and still there are errors then the problem is with your registry and you need to use a tool called Registry cleaner to scan your computer for errors. You can use the scan tool below this article.
