Testing Computer Memory

Post by The Texican-PG- »

Is there a way to test my memory sticks?

Was using a program Corel Paintshop Pro x5 which is a memory hog and it bogged down to a stand still.

Wondering if my computer problems are due to bad memory.

there are many a few, some free, ram testing softwares out there. most of the good ones will boot to a cd/dvd or usb. windows 7 has one built in, msdched.exe. it may find errors but I don't know how good of test it really is.
