RAM tetsing
-
Hey Guys, Is there any alogrithm or source code in C/C++ to test the RAM. I want to test the RAM present in any system. I need to test it considering the paging system present. Thanks, -Tom
Use memtest86 or any other of these memory testing programs. Coding one yourself doesn't make sense if you don't know how hardware programming for x86 protected mode works. When you check for memory errors in windows you won't be able to check the whole physical memory because of paging! Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

Ya, I do have memtest86. But how do I verfy about the test result. Whether its proper or not?. Please point me some link so that I can cross verify it. -Thanks in advance -Tom
When memtest86 displays errors then there are errors, what is the problem with it? Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

You could try Microsoft's Windows Memory Diagnostic[^], if you want a second opinion. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
