memtest 86

I let this run thinking it would to some tests and stop. I let it run for 2 hours.
I noticed that it seemed to repeat over and over.
Does it ever stop?
I had rows on the bottom in red under columns of bad / good/ etc.

I really had no idea what I was looking at. Too technical for me right now in that area.

It will not stop until you escape out of the program. I usually let it run for a few hours to test out my memory, especially if I've "tweaked" my timings or overclocked the system.

Yes, hit esc or C for config.

That's not good. Try raising your cpu core and/or memory voltage a up a bit and test again.

I set the CPU to what it should be at since it is not auto detected (2500+ mobile).
Ram is corsair value, two bought at different times so not a kit.

I guess I will test each seperately. Maybe this is what keeps my 2500+ from going to 3200 speeds.

Well I just spent over 4 hours testing each module seperately in the same slot.
There were no errors on the bottom for both. The first was at about 2 hours testing, the second 2 1/2 hours.
I suppose errors can come up sporadically?
I did just one pass after putting them both in and didn't get an error on that very short test.
