Click the "Disk Image" radio button, then click on the button with the "..." and browse to where the Memtest86+ ISO is. Select your flash drive's drive letter from the drop down box next to Type: USB Drive, then click OK.

Did all that the program loads from boot just fine. I select memtest from the menu and it says "Invalid kernel image" or something like that.

Gonna have to use the one that says its for USB drives:
http://www.memtest.org/download/4.20/memtest86+-4.20.usb.installer.zip

Run the file, and go through the setup. Forgot they have that now.

Same kernel image problem.

You shouldn't be getting a kernel image problem when you run the auto-installer. Did you pick the option to reformat the flash drive when installing it on there? Are you sure you're booting off of the correct USB device?

Found out I didn't need Unetbootin I just needed the memtest and boot it from BIOS. Ran memtest and no errors after one pass then I bumped the wrong button and the computer booted on Windows. Still registers as 1GB of RAM.

Wait at least 2 passes. Doesn't find everything in one pass. The best option would set it to run all night.

What do I do if I find something bad? Send it back to Crucial?

 

[MindoverMaster]

Yeah, RMA it. It's not your fault their RAM is faulty.

Ok then. Tonight my computer will be running memtest and tommorow if anything bad comes up RMA it. Thanks!
