How to check RAM in Windows 10 and Windows 7,8
Type in the search for mdsched.exe, in later windows systems, click or the combination of windows + R buttons.
In the next window, select the mode that is currently suitable. (The tool also offers the ability to schedule a test at the next reboot, if you cannot close your applications and immediately restart).
As soon as the computer restarts, it will start in the Windows Memory Diagnostics environment, and the tests will immediately start working in standard mode. In this mode, the tool will run all the checks available in the main mode, in addition to LRAND, Stride6 (with cache), CHCKR3, WMATS + and WINVC. You can also select the scan options by pressing the F1 key.
After pressing F1, the test selection will appear: basic, normal, wide. Below you can turn on the cache and the number of passes. In the advanced mode of the “Wide” test, more tools will be available, which will allow thoroughly diagnosing the operative memory for operability. Disabling the “cache” will allow direct access to RAM, which will improve the quality of diagnosis. When you have configured the parameters for scanning, press F10 and it will start checking the RAM.
