This tool is a godsend at the time when you suspect your RAM has developed a fault.
Even when I don’t suspect it, I systematically run it on any new PC I build just to ensure I’m running with good RAM out-of-the-box. So far I’ve had this issue only once with a brand new pair but I’m glad I caught it early on.
I had a 6 month old Acer laptop that started misbehaving so I ran Memtest, it took hours, but found faults in the memory. So I took it back to the shop, they sent it on to Acer who sent it back saying Linux was the problem and I should only use windows. But they replaced the main board, “just in case”

I’ve come to segfault with you again… 🎵
Memtest is based af, I love it on SysResCD on my toolkit USB.
Based on what?
Based on Memnutz
I always keep memtest86+ in my grub in case I (rarely) need it
