How to Test your RAM

Before testing your RAM, you need to know what type of firmware is on your PC. Either Legacy BIOS which is usually on pre-2012 PCs or UEFI which is usually on newer PCs. You can find this information in your motherboard manual. Or, run msinfo32.exe and look for BIOS Mode. "Legacy" means Legacy BIOS, otherwise it's UEFI.

    This tool is good for quick checks but may not catch all issues. For more thorough testing, use MemTest96.
