OS & UtilitiesWhat is Windows Memory Diagnostic?
The Windows Memory Diagnostic tests the Random Access Memory (RAM) on your computer for errors. The diagnostic includes a comprehensive set of memory tests. If you are experiencing problems while running Windows, you can use the diagnostic to determine whether the problems are caused by failing hardware, such as RAM or the memory system of your motherboard. Windows Memory Diagnostic is designed to be easy and fast. On most configurations, you can run the test and complete the first test pass in less than 30 minutes.
Comments and Reviews
Oh, it'll tell you as it's running that your system will automatically reboot and report the results when you next log in.
But what really happens is that ... you'll log in. You won't see any results, the way you would if you'd just used System Restore. You'll sit there and wonder what happened with the memory test.
Then you'll open Event Viewer. And you'll find an entry under MemoryDiagnostic-Results. You'll breathe a sigh of relief, then click the sole entry that appears.
And what you'll see is:
"Windows Memory Diagnostic results"
That's it. That's what you'll see. There is nothing further.
"What are you talking about, you crazy person? Surely it tells you more!!!"
No, it won't. Stop yelling at me. It's not me. I didn't create this software. I just wasted an hour of my life running this "memory diagnostic" only to find nothing in the way of results.
Garbage.
Trash.
This is what happens when you don't have to care AT. ALL. about the user experience. Must be nice!
