Gary-I downloaded the program, unzipped it, and burned it to a disc. I just haven't gone into bios and told the laptop to boot from the DVD/ROM. Maybe this weekend.
Revise the above statement to "test memory today." So Gary, uh, how long does this test take? I'm currently at the 32 minute mark and I see no end in sight. I would have done this last night except we had a terrible storm roll through here yesterday morning including a tornado warning complete with sirens going off. That's what happens when the morning starts off at 56 degrees in January and quickly heads into the 30s. When I got home my wife's computer was in a loop. It would say "starting windows" and then turn off and start back up again only to continue the loop. Her computer was running XP Pro. I went ahead and installed Windows 7 and it fixed the issues of corrupted sectors on the hard drive caused by the storm and losing power. After I installed Windows 7 and Office 2010, I had to install over 120 updates which took another forever.
So, I'm now at minute 39 and counting and the memory test is still running. So far I have passed one test with zero errors. Here is what memtest is displaying:
