Re: BSOD in Win10 Pro
I examined all the logs but I'm not a BSOD analyst, hence I could have missed something.
It could be a good idea to try
memtest86 (without the +) because it seems that's the original software memtest86+ derived from and also because it seems it's the
more updated at the moment.
I don't know if running the
windows memory diagnostic could be the same, but I know all windows users can modify its settings to be more scrupulous, especially windows 10 users (I have limited experience with vista and seven, but I think their users can also modify the test).
Edit:
I tried the windows memory diagnostic tool: test mix extended, cache on, pass count 5.
It took about 2H38min, i.e. an
average of about 31 minutes per test.
Therefore I can estimate the total amount of hours (on my machine) could be about 8, if I had chosen 15 passes.
Using Pentium G645 and 6GB RAM; from piriform speccy:
- Nanya Technology NT4GC64B8HG0NF-CG DDR3 4096MB PC3-10700 (667 MHz)
- Nanya Technology NT2GC64B88G0NF-CG DDR3 2048MB PC3-10700 (667 MHz)

How to enable the windows memory diagnostic tool in windows 10
(although this could be valid also for previous windows versions, from windows vista onwards)
- (Classic shell disabled) Click windows start, windows administrative tools, windows memory diagnostic (and you can double click it).
or
(Classic shell enabled - xp style) Click windows start, Windows, programs, windows administrative tools, windows memory diagnostic (and you can double click it).
or
Click windows start, type directly memory and the windows memory diagnostic app should be the first hit (and you can double click it).
or
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32, find and double click mdsched.exe.
or
Right-click windows start, click run, copy/paste mdsched.exe in the run window and press enter.
- Click yes to the UAC window that should appear.
- The windows memory diagnostic tool will ask you either to restart now or to schedule the test at next windows startup.
(I didn't use the exact same words, but the sense is the same).
- You can change the options of the tool pressing F1 (key on your keyboard).
- The first option you can change is the test mix:
- basic --> MATS+, INVC, SCHCKR (cache enabled)
- standard --> like above and LRAND, STRIDE6 (cache enabled), CHCKR3, WMATS+, WINVC
Complete list: MATS+, INVC, SCHCKR (cache enabled), LRAND, STRIDE6 (cache enabled), CHCKR3, WMATS+, WINVC
- extended --> like above and WINVC, MATS+ (cache disabled), STRIDE38, WCHCKR3, ERAND, STRIDE6 (cache disabled), CHCKR8
Complete list: MATS+, INVC, SCHCKR (cache enabled), LRAND, STRIDE6 (cache enabled), CHCKR3, WMATS+, WINVC, MATS+ (cache disabled), STRIDE38, WCHCKR3, ERAND, STRIDE6 (cache disabled), CHCKR8
- (You can go to the other options using the TAB key on your keyboard.)
The second option you can change is the cache: default, on, off.
- The third option you can change is the pass count, from 0 (zero, nought) to 15.
0 (nought) means 15.
- Once done, press F10 (key on your keyboard) to apply the changes.
- The test will start automatically after the changes.
