I had some BSOD problems. I am waiting now for the next BSOD and in that case I will report the DUMP download in the BSOD section.

As I have a new rig, in the meantime I want to check RAM. I read in this forum about memtest86, but you have to install on USB or CD.
I read in the German c't magazine about using the Win mdsched. That seem to be much easier. Just call up and run.

Any advantages/disadvantages of memtest86 compared to mdsched?
