Windows Memory Diag Tool.

[Rambo87]

I have been having frequent crashes and freezes with my laptop and finally i reported an issue and windows sent me to their website saying to try the windows memory diag tool which is an .iso boot file. I hav etried it now 2-3 times and every time it will freeze on any one of the tests most making it to test 5 outa I think 6. Does this mean I have a clear cut problem with one of my possiable 2 memory sticks? What should I do to test them individually maby? anthing would help thanks...

try running memtest86. Its the same kind of thing. Its a .iso file that you burn to a CD and then it tests your memory, and reports any errors it finds. If there are any errors and your memory is at stock clocks/timings, then you might have to et some new RAM.
