    Unzip memtest86, double click the install.bat, create the floppy, re-boot your computer with the floppy in the drive.
    If Windows boots up normally you will have to change the boot order in your bios to boot from the floppy first.

    Umm, what if the reason your rebooting is BECAUSE it wont reboot?
    When ever I try to boot after having just shut down, it fails, and gives 1 long bios beep. I'll give it a shot but.... :'(

      The plot thickens :D
      Give memtest a shot, let it run for an hour or two.

      I just checked the site to see if the directions were confusing and they are not. Did you read them? Everything youneed is right there, not to mention the directions given here. Can you make a bootable CDROM? Try that if the floppy instructions fail you.

      I think Memtest it self is a bootable diskette.

      You need to set the diskette drive as the first boot device in your BIOS.
