If you are worried about possible RAM issues, the Memory Diagnostic Tool will check the RAM in your computer for errors. This process is built into Windows and can be a helpful checkup for possible RAM issues.
Here is how to run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool in Windows 10:
1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard and the letter R at the same time to open the Run window. Type mdsched.exe and press OK.
2. Windows Memory Diagnostic will open with two options for scanning:
The first option is Restart now and check for problems if you want to run the scan immediately.
The second option is Check for problems the next time I start my computer if you want to run the scan later after a restart.
3. When the computer restarts, the Memory Diagnostic will automatically start. When the diagnostic completes the system will restart again.
