It is not uncommon for a situation when a once fully functioning computer or laptop starts to fail:
- a blue "death screen" appears, where in the error code you can read that it is associated with the operating memory;
- there are causeless reboots of the system;
- periodically the computer memory is loaded on all 100%.
In general, there can be as many variants of problems as possible, and for this reason, we decided to tell you about how a high-grade RAM test in Windows 10 can look like without using any third-party programs, since "a dozen "Has the ability to test some PC components using its own resource called "Windows Memory Test Tool".
How to run the "Windows Memory Test Tool" in Windows 10?
Since this utility belongs to the "standard" set of tools, it is launched even with the help of the Search, which is located on the Taskbar, just write the "Windows Memory Test Tool" in the search string.
It is worth noting that in the same way it is possible to prescribe in the search string a search query of the following character: "Diagnostics of computer memory problems".
As soon as the utility is launched, you can immediately see a couple of options to choose from when the computer will be rebooted immediately and the indications associated with the RAM will be removed by the utility "here and now", or the utility will be launched the next time the operating system starts. The process of the initial start of Windows 10 is very important when you remove the performance indicators for RAM, since this is done at the start of the OS, and not during its full operation.
As soon as RAM test in Windows 10 is launched, you can see a rather simplified visual version of the workspace of the program. When the utility will work, you will have to wait a little, as the process of removing the indicators given, takes some time.
I want to note that the utility looks simple, but it has some scanning settings, which can be called up by pressing the "F1" button on the keyboard. After that, you will be able to choose one of three scanning options:
- Basic;
- Normal;
- Wide.
After you make your choice, do not forget to press the "F10" key on the keyboard, since this will save the changes made to the scan plan.
The process of verification does not proceed quickly, but all of its results can be monitored on the monitor in real time. If, for some reason, you want to refresh the memory and remember what exactly the utility found in your RAM, then you can use the following path: open "Event Viewer" → go to "Windows Logs" → go to "System" → use the search with the search query "MemoryDiagnostics".
For those who do not know, you can launch the Event View snap-in from the search box of the Search application.
We hope that after reading this article, checking RAM in Windows 10 will not be a big problem for you, because you can always use the utility built into the operating system, and it's much better than using third-party software.
