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
