Having random crashes? Failing memory is often to blame. Here’s how to test it… for free!


People that debug a lot of systems realize that failing memory is one of the hardest things to catch. Failing memory often gives random errors. Sometimes this causes crashes, othertimes it just causes odd behavior.

With better operating systems, random crashing should no longer be expected. Crashing when spyware free or when you have a fresh install, the user should explore the possibility of memory errors.

Multiple memory testing programs can be purchased. However, Microsoft has provided one for free.
