This tool includes two other options: Cache and Pass Count. The Cache

option enables you to set whether the tests use the CPU’s built-in cache as

well as override the default cache settings for each test type. Simply leave

Cache set at Default and never touch it. Pass Count sets the number of times

each set of tests will run. This option defaults to 2.

After the tool runs, your computer reboots normally. In Windows 10 you

will get a notification with the results; if you missed it, you can open Event

Viewer to see the results as well (see Figure 16-21).

Sadly, I’ve had rather poor results with the Windows Memory Diagnostic

Tool. We keep lots of bad RAM around the labs here at Total Seminars, and,

give us a BSoD or lock up the system. We still turn to tried-and-tested tools

such as the free Memtest86+ when we’re worried about bad RAM.
