Installation problems- memory test





Sometimes when installing a fresh copy of Windows, there is and error message notifying that the setup can’t continue because there a certain file is missing or that formatting is not complete.

Causes:


Installation CD is not good condition.

CD drive is not working properly.

MBR is infected by a virus.

The RAM memory is faulty: during the boot process the exact amount of memory will be displayed.

Solutions:


Test with another CD drive.

Make a scan disk.

Test the installation CD on another PC.

Memory test:

First of all is to determine that:

If you have two memory cards, test them separately (this require that you remove them from your motherboard and test them one after the other).

Another option is to use Memtest86, it takes a long time to scan, but not need to open up your PC.

To run it from a floppy, you need to down load it, extract the archive file. Run the install.bat file specifying the floppy drive letter (normally A:\) and the program will automatically copy the necessary files on a previously loaded formatted disk. Once the process complete the floppy disk will not be readable under Windows. You can format it if you want to use it again.

From a CD

Simply burn the .ISO file on a CD using Nero Burning Rom. To launch Mentest for the CD, your PC boot sequence must be configured, in order to start from the CD drive.

These modifications are done within the Bios:

Start your PC

Press delete or F2 to enter your BIOS

Choose the boot sequence option and select your CD drive as First Boot Device.

Save the modifications and quit BIOS.

Your PC will restart automatically; press any key to start Memtest.

If the problem persist, check out the motherboard or your graphic
