Run Diagnostics to Check Your System for Memory Problems

Do you suspect your computer has a memory problem that isn’t being automatically detected? If so, you can force a memory check using this tool.


Windows 7 includes built-in features to help you identify and diagnose problems with memory. If you suspect a computer has a memory problem that isn’t being automatically detected, you can run the Windows Memory Diagnostics utility by completing the following steps:

-Click Start, type mdsched.exe in the Search box, and then press Enter.

-Choose whether to restart the computer and run the tool immediately or schedule the tool to run at the next restart.

-Windows Memory Diagnostics runs automatically after the computer restarts and performs a standard memory test automatically. If you want to perform fewer or more tests, press F1, use the Up and Down arrow keys to set the Test -Mix as Basic, Standard, or Extended, and then press F10 to apply the desired settings and resume testing.

-When testing is completed, the computer restarts automatically. You’ll see the test results when you log on.
Note that if a computer crashes because of failing memory, and Windows Memory Diagnostics detects this, the system will prompt you to schedule a memory test the next time the computer is restarted.
