Default Is There A Ram Test ?

I'm useing GWX 2.1 and am haveing a CTD. I don't think it's the mod as it doe's the same thing with SH-4 Gold.

Is there a software the tests Ram sticks ?

Thx in advance for any help

I'm currently useing 4 1gb Corsair sticks.

Those are just 3 that I use.
I also do a physical swap.
Move Bank 1 to the rear and move all forward one bank and test.
Keep doing that till the CTD's disappear or become less frequent.
The Memory in Bank 4 is usually suspect if CTD's vanish.
It's the last Bank accessed by most programs when running 4 Gigs.

Once you suspect a bad Ram stick.
Swap it into a known good system if you can and see if there are problems.


I run 5 systems here, so it's easy for me.
2 NoteBooks, 3 Towers.

Thx again I should have posted I have XP sp2 OS if that makes any difference.

A friend is going to let me try his Ram sticks to try and find which of mine are bad.
