OK, this could be a meme I am out of the loop for.This is a run if memtest, yeah? The huge letters are/were not a thing. My back hurts and the nurse said I could get an extra serving of pudding today.
I guess it just hit me. I have been away from Wondows for so long that I’m not even understanding memes anymore. I haven’t seen a blue screen in maybe 20 years.

This is Memtest86+, which is different from the original memtest. The big letters are real.
It says PASS when it’s done some passes that were all successful. Image
It says FAIL when it has one error. It rattles off bad block addresses if you dismiss the FAIL and let it continue

Thanks. It has been a long time.

I feel like memory might have gotten more reliable in the last 25 years. This is the first time I had to memtest something in over a decade. Back in the day, I used to test heaps of rigs and find bad memory occasionally. And I’ve never had a memory failure on my personal hardware until now.
