Faulty Ram

[MickM]

Any of you server admins know of a way to check for faulty ram with very minimal downtime?

Got a server blue screening but can not afford much downtime if any as they are a 24hour company.

Any ideas?

Yeah, use Memtest mate. Just wondered if anyone new of any way of testing at all with out downtime.

Going to need at least half an hour downtime with memtest

Or, keep it running and let it bluescreen all the time?
How long does it take to boot? 10 mins? So.... say 3 Bluescreens == Memtest.

Yeah true, will get the junior to go and memtest it.

He can take the bollocking for the downtime
