Memtest86+ is a free, open-source, stand-alone memory tester for x86, x86-64, ARM AArch64, and LoongArch64 computers. It boots directly from BIOS/UEFI or a bootloader and thoroughly tests system RAM independent of any operating system.

Use cases

  • test if my RAM is faulty
  • diagnose random crashes and freezes on my PC
  • validate memory stability after overclocking
  • check new server RAM before production
  • run a thorough memory test outside the OS
  • create a bootable USB memory testing tool

When to choose

  • you suspect faulty RAM causing crashes or instability
  • you need to test all system memory without OS restrictions
  • you want a free, open-source alternative to PassMark Memtest86
  • you need to validate memory after overclocking or building a new PC

When to avoid

  • you need memory testing from within a running operating system
  • you need closed-source vendor support or commercial licensing
  • you need non-x86/ARM/LoongArch architectures
