Windows 10: Windows Memory Diagnostic Detected Problems.

So I had a few BSODs for a good while now and had done some research and used bluescreenview to find out which programs were crashing and further figured out that it was because of my memory. Ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic and it came back detecting problems. I was curious as to if this could have possibly been from something related to software that is possible to fix or if I definitely need new memory, could it be something like BIOS or drivers or something. Just curious as to how I should proceed and if the diagnostic is actually 100% hardware based and has nothing to do with software. N

Windows Memory Diagnostic detected problems: not sure how I should proceed.

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.

If Windows detects possible problems with your computer’s memory, it will prompt you to run the Memory Diagnostics Tool.

If you choose to restart your computer and run the tool immediately, make sure that you save your work and close all of your running programs. The Memory Diagnostics Tool will run automatically when you restart Windows. It might take several minutes for
the tool to finish checking your computer's memory. Once the test is completed, Windows will restart automatically. If the tool detects errors, you should contact your computer manufacturer for information about fixing them, since memory errors usually indicate
a problem with the memory chips in your computer or other hardware problem.

Advanced options for running the Memory Diagnostics Tool

We recommend that you let the Memory Diagnostics Tool run automatically. However, advanced users might want to adjust the tool's settings. Here's how:

• 
  When the Memory Diagnostics Tool starts, press F1.
  
• 
  You can adjust the following settings:
  
  • 
    Test mix. Choose what type of test you want to run: Basic,
    Standard, or Extended. The choices are described in the tool.
    
  • 
    Cache. Choose the cache setting you want for each test: Default,
    On, or Off.
    
  • 
    Pass count. Type the number of times you want to repeat the test.
    
• 
  Press F10 to start the test.
  

To run the Memory Diagnostics Tool manually

If the Windows Memory Diagnostics tool doesn't run automatically, you can run it manually.

• 
  Open Memory Diagnostics Tool by going to Control Panel. In the search box, type
  Memory, and then click Diagnose your computer's memory problems.‌
  
  
  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  
• 
  Choose when to run the tool.
  

Hope this information is helpful. Please post in case you have any further issues, I will be glad to help you.

Thank you.
