Hi

While running memtest86 v4.10 it gets stuck and shows no error and I have to restart the machine.. it actually doesn't do anything but the cursor below memtest86 keeps on blinking.
Below where it shows the messages it just gets stuck and can't select any of the options that are below(Esc-reboot, c-configuration etc).. It shows those options but can't be selected after pressing the respected keys (the cursor is still blinking).

Thanks

are u using it in windows mode then its sure to get stuck.

try in dos mode or if you have it in bios.

BTW if you arent facing any issues like BSOD or frequent reboots or hanging then no need to stress your ram.
