If you receive a "failed" message you will not receive a green or blue because the memory is confirmed faulty. This test will run non-stop. You can test memory as long as you like, but you will usually get results within the first 10 minutes. Joe,

I've never seen the green color when I use it and all got failed except the last which says active.. Is it confirmed that I have problem with my RAM? I also wonder if this test will be continuous or it will stop if completed? does the windiag saves a log file? I’ve never seen the green color when I use it and all got failed except the last which says active.. Is it confirmed that I have problem with my RAM?

I also wonder if this test will be continuous or it will stop if completed?

But I recommend only testing 1 stick of memory at a time. This way you can determine which stick of memory is actually bad. Otherwise if you test all your memory simultaneously and you get memory errors you will need to run each stick by itself to determine which one is faulty. I have tested dual memory with MS Memory Diagnostic without issue, but if you are running into problems there are other free memory diagnostic applications out there. My second recommendation would be Memtest86. As far as up-to-date software I would recommend checking out some other free memory diagnostic softwares if you feel MS Memory Diagnostic will not meet your needs. Thanks for the comment! Martin,

Is this tester fooled by dual memory? Is there a more up to date version? How much memory can be tested? what is the limit?
Is this tester fooled by dual memory?

Is there a more up to date version?
