Software Update: Windows Memory Diagnostic beta
A new tool can be found on the Microsoft Online Crash Analysis website that can check the available RAM for errors. The program is currently in a beta version. The following description is provided by Microsoft:
The Windows Memory Diagnostic tests the Random Access Memory (RAM) on your computer for errors. The diagnostic includes a comprehensive set of memory tests. If you are experiencing problems while running Windows, you can use the diagnostic to determine whether the problems are caused by failing hardware, such as RAM or the memory system of your motherboard. Windows Memory Diagnostic is designed to be easy and fast. On most configurations, you can download the diagnostic, read the documentation, run the test and complete the first test pass in less than 30 minutes.
