Your computer's memory (RAM) is a very important tool. If the RAM chip is not working normally or is developing with too much Mistakes your PC will start to crash, hang and eventually become unusable until you replace the RAM.
In many cases, a faulty RAM will still work, but will sometimes cause you sudden problems. This behavior is very inconvenient, as your computer may stop working suddenly, without knowing what is due. Fortunately, Windows 8, Windows 7 and Vista come with a built-in memory diagnostic tool. Let's see how you can use it to know for sure that your memory is or is not defective.
The Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool performs a series of tests that require a lot of memory. If all of this succeeds, the RAM memory chip on the computer can be considered to work smoothly.
To run the Windows Memory Diagnostics tool, you must do the following:
On the home screen, type the following text into its box search:
d
If it does not show you, you can try it by searching for it:
μνήμη
Alternatively, you can click the Win + R shortcut on your keyboard and type the following command in the Run box:
mdsched.exe
The Windows Memory Diagnostic will appear on your screen.
Click on “Restartmovement now and check for problems” to start checking the RAM on your computer.
After restart, Windows 8 will start the standard memory test.
You can change the current test sequence with the key F1. You can choose from basic, standard and extensive testing.
When Windows 8 completes control of RAM, it will restart your computer automatically.
You can find the results of memory control in Event Viewer. Where is it; In Windows Logs> System [Windows Logs / System] and look for events that report "MemoryDiagnostics-Results"
Now you know in what state is the memory of your computer, you know if it hangs or the problems you are experiencing require new hardware.
