program to check memory?

[dorky82]

My computer is acting weird.
Its works fine for like 1 hr then it start to happen.
Files that I download gets crupt every time and the pictures are distorted.
Could be heating problem on cpu.
But first I want to check if this is memory problem.
I thought its windows problem but its doing same thing after format.
Is there program to check your memory?

anyone had similar problem?


thanks

Are you using a dial-up accelerator (sp?)(i realy hope not, beacuse that would mean you're on dial-up!)
They work by running the images on a page through a proxy to reduce their quality and therefore size, which reduces loading time

Other than the images being distorted, it sounds like a hard drive problem
How old is the hard drive, and are you overclocking?

use chkdsk to check your hard drive
winkey+R -> cmd -> chkdsk driveletter:

if you think it's your memory, get memtest and let it run overnight to check your memory stability...

I use memtest86, memtest86+ and the M$ memory checking programs - yes, I run them all. One may catch something another doesn't. At least one of them did on my system.
