MEM-Test how does it take to run.
I had a friend bring his PC to me and the first thing I tried was MEM-Test on it because it was Blue screening alot and I have never needed to run MEM-Test before and it has been running for 19 hours testing 2GB of DDR2 Ram and it is still testing the L2 cache it say's is this normal.

I checked my RAM DIMMS (2X256 DDR) on my old P4 Desktop once; took me about an hour. I was using memtest86+, which is free and I recommend it as well.

I'm using Memtest version 4.20 check out the link to there page.I was wondering how you know when it's done and I was it's 4GB of Ram I'm testing not 2GBit's been well over 20 hours and there is still no sign of it being done I don't know if it's suppoed to just stop when it is done or what but it just keep's testing,I think it say's it's up to 46 pass's now.

It keeps running till you stop it. 46 passes is way more than you need, 3 or 4 are usually plenty.

I was'nt sure but I thought it would stop after it had ran all the tested it was written to do.
