MemTest64 writes test patterns in available memory and reports found errors. You can set the amount of tested memory and do not need to start from a separate stick.

Windows and other processes also use memory. A test from Windows cannot therefore provide the same complete environment as a standalone startup test.

A memory test within Windows cannot use all the space required by the operating system itself. Close unnecessary programs and check what amount is actually being tested. An error gives rise to further investigation, but does not automatically indicate one module.

Test for deviations under controlled settings and record clock speed and memory profile. A short error-free trial does not exclude all possible problems. More extensive research may require a test outside the running operating system.

Compare TechPowerUp MemTest64 with alternatives

Memory tests differ mainly in the environment in which they run. A test outside your operating system can approach memory differently from an app within Windows. Plan enough time and interpret errors in connection with settings, modules and the rest of your hardware.

Our verdict

MemTest64 is useful as first targeted control after memory problems. Save work and lock other apps. A found error requires further investigation of settings or hardware; a flawless short test does not exclude problems. For persistent errors, a longer, separate startup test is a useful follow-up step.
