    About using Memtest varieties


    Recently have had stack overflow warnings, which I understand can be a sign of RAM failure.
    Be that so, which version of the application is best for Windows 10 64 bit, please?

    I have also read the tutorial, but that deals only with creating a bootable usb stick, and nothing is mentioned about creating a bootbleCd/DVD As I lack a suitable stick but have many blank CDs, I'd like to use them.

    Are you able to advise me?

    MemTest86 Download page
    Scroll down to: MemTest86 V7.1 Free Edition
    Image for creating bootable CD (ISO format)

    or download the file directly if that is easier:
    Direct download (memtest86-iso.zip)

    There is another utility, Memtest86+, but the most recent update is V5.01 (27/09/2013)

    Can you recommend a good burner? I've just tried Free ISO burner,and booted from CD drive, but nothing seems to happen. Have I made a mess maybe. Files on CD see attachment.

    Windows 10 has a built in burner

    Extract the ISO from the zip folder
    Right click the extracted ISO
    Select Burn disc image

    I must be stupid, as I have searched for the burner, which I believe is called Windows DIsc Image, but cannot find the App.

    Sorry, not an app ... it's a File Explorer feature

    You can either pick Burn disc image from the context menu (Right click on the ISO)

    -- OR --

    Pick Burn from the Disc Image Tools / Manage menu (only shows if the ISO is selected)

    At last I've got it and a short run of the cd proves. Thanks everyone!
    Will do full test overnight.
