BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check and often missfailures that are detected by Memtest86.For updates go to the Memtest86 web page: Licensing============Memtest86 is released under the terms of the Gnu Public License (GPL). Otherthan the provisions of the GPL there are no restrictions for use, private orcommercial. See: for details.3) Linux Installation============================Memtest86 is a stand alone program and can be loaded from either a diskpartition or from a floppy disk.To build Memtest86: 1) Review the Makefile and adjust options as needed. 2) Type "make"This creates a file named "memtest.bin" which is a bootable image. Thisimage file may be copied to a floppy disk or may be loaded from a diskpartition via Lilo or Grub image from a hard disk partition. To create a Memtest86 bootdisk 1) Insert a blank write enabled floppy disk. 2) As root, Type "make install" To boot from a disk partition via Grub 1) Copy the image file to a permanent location (ie. /boot/memtest.bin). 2) Add an entry in the Grub config file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) to boot memtest86. Only the title and kernel fields need to be specified. The following is a sample Grub entry for booting memtest86: title Memtest86 kernel (hd0,0)/memtest.bin To boot from a disk partition via Lilo 1) Copy the image file to a permanent location (ie. /boot/memtest.bin). 2) Add an entry in the lilo config file (usually /etc/lilo.conf) to boot memtest86. Only the image and label fields need to be specified. The following is a sample Lilo entry for booting memtest86: image = /boot/memtest.bin label = memtest86 3) As root, type "lilo"If you encounter build problems a binary image has been included (precomp.bin).To create a boot-disk with this pre-built image do the following: 1) Insert a blank write enabled floppy disk. 2) Type "make install-precomp"4) Serial Console=================Memtest86 can be used on PC's equipped with a serial port for the console.By default serial port console support is not enabled since it slowsdown testing. To enable change the SERIAL_CONSOLE_DEFAULT define inconfig.h from a zero to a one. The serial console baud rate may alsobe set in config.h with the SERIAL_BAUD_RATE define. The other serialport settings are no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. All of the featuresused by memtest86 are accessible via the serial console. However, thescreen sometimes is garbled when the online commands are used.5) Online Commands==================Memtest86 has a limited number of online commands. Online commandsprovide control over caching, test selection, address range and errorscrolling. A help bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen

They are diverging slightly now but once you get either version running they should both provide a solid RAM test. Nonetheless the core test algorithms in both versions were common for a long while and can be traced back 40 years. So it won't work on most machines without a deep dive into the BIOS settings. The lack of secure boot being especially problematic for novice users as Win11 requires secure boot to be on, but Memtest86+ requires it to be off. So for example, it now has DDR5 support, but is still missing a lot of important stuff like ECC support, Secure boot support, row hammer testing and the ability to log a test report to disk. This release today brings it forward a few years. So the plus version was around 9 years behind. PassMark added ECC support, Secure boot support (with Microsoft code signing it), Mouse support, a graphical UI, logging of test reports to the disk, Native 64bit, Some 128bit testing, support for a heap of new CPUs, DDR5 support, row hammer testing, command line boot configuration, PXE network booting, multi-language support, inventory checking, ECC injection, debug logging, performance improvements, ARM CPU support, memory address decoding (to tell you exactly which memory stick and chip on the stick is bad) and a bunch of other stuff.ĭevelopment on the MemTest86+ version was discontinued as there have been minimal updates since 2013 (until today that is, with this new V6 release). PassMark did five major releases between 2013 and today. However, from V5 with the the software is being released under a proprietary license. The MemTest86 v4 project (for traditional BIOS) is still maintained and remains GPL open source, for use on old machines. The core software still remains free to use without restrictions. Starting from MemTest86 v5, the code was re-written to support self-booting from the newer UEFI platform. The 64bit era was here, DDR4 was coming, UEFI had already arrived and Microsoft's Secure boot technology threatened to prevent MemTest86 from booting on future PC hardware. This was around the time that a lot of technological changes
