I'm having mysterious blue screen that reads "dumping memory" and find my computer at log in screen in the morning when I run SETI. Windows tells me my system have recovered from a serious error.

I'm going to be running memtest86 overnight. What options should I set in memtest86?

I don't think it does. You just throw in the disk and it runs.

It has some configureation tools avaliable at the bottom of the test. Don't bother with them. Run it default.

Um, no. It *does* have options, and they *are* important. You want to run it with the full set of tests (rather than the quick set it defaults to). This takes MUCH longer, but is more thorough.
