Blue screen, NOT BSOD

[Rabbit01]

Are G, H, K & L virtual drives? Looks like the iso might have been mounted to the G drive. Shouldn't matter, put in your CD-RW disc into the burner and burn the iso to it.

I don't know. I have only ONE drive there & with nothing in it, it still shows those images.
Virtual CloneDrive. Virtual CloneDrive works and behaves just like a physical CD, DVD, or Blu-ray drive, although it only exists virtually. Image files can be "inserted" into the virtual drive from your harddisk or from a network drive by just a double-click, and thus be used like a normal CD, DVD, or Blu-ray.
Its so far over my head, wow

I did it. It is finally running so I will let it run till at least 7 am I hope Thank you @jobeard @Leeky & others for your patience.

??? Is that correct??

Is what correct? It has only completed one pass. Take a look at post #14 for reference.

 

[learninmypc]

I know what that post says & so does post #3 I believe. It was my understanding it would run over night on its own, but it now is sounding like I have to stay up for unknown amount of hours till its finished. Yes, as I have said previously, I've never done this & am relying on your patience , thank you

Somebody forgot to mention this http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1906201/test-memory-memtest.html
I was under the impression it would run all night according to this post "Run at least 7 full passes (this takes hours not minutes)
If it completes 7 full passes without a single error the RAM is okay".
So now it sounds to me like I have to do it 4 times, once per stick of RAM. Still confused.

Click this link (its the download link on memtest website for the .iso image: http://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-iso.zip
Download the image.
Extract the .zip archive to get the .iso image.
Open your disc burning software and insert a CD-R/CD-RW into your drive
Burn the image to the disc.
Leave the disc in the drive once complete
Restart your computer and boot from the optical disc drive
The memtest software will then boot and it should start immediately. If not, follow the instructions.
Run at least 7 full passes (this takes hours not minutes)
If it completes 7 full passes without a single error the RAM is okay

If you get any errors, you can either remove all but one DIMM and run the test again. Run separately for each DIMM with the above instructions.

You could also replace the RAM if it errors - let me know what RAM you have and I'll recommend some replacements.

Is this the info on RAM you asked for?? I guess I'll have to find a day when I can run the memtest 4 separate times, thought it would be an over night situation.

Have a look at post #14 again, you only need to test individual RAM if you encountered errors during your initial overnight 7-passes test.

As for RAM info, you can use CPU-Z or Speccy.

@Rabbit01 , I am very confused then. In post #78 I started it with the understanding it would run all night which is why I posted the picture showing what I thought was all good. Hence the ??? Post # 79 is the one I thought was going to run all night, surprised it stopped 44 minutes later so you can see why/where I'm confused.
I will check CPU-Z for RAM. Sorry for my confusion, I've never done thos before.

You probably ran the 1-pass test instead of the default.

SPD tab shows the make & part #. You can use those info to order exact replacement or equivalent if you have bad RAM module(s).

I know I booted from the CDRW & it started on it own, how to run the default I don't know.

Ok, will check.

I looked at your screen cap again, should have noticed it earlier. Anyway, it has completed the 1st pass, and is into the 2nd pass w/ 2% completion.

 

[learninmypc]

So if I understand you correctly, if I wouldn't of tapped Esc, it would of automatically continued?

 

[Rabbit01]

Yep

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, will do so tonight, thank you.

 

[learninmypc]

Re started at 5:55pm. Will let it run all night

@jobeard correct? Good or ??

 

[learninmypc]

@Leeky next? or ?? is that good or not?
