    MemTest 86 V4.3.7 Duration for test completed?

    Hi
    First - I am a simple girl trying to test my car diagnosis laptop, that keeps crusching on me at start up of one spcific program, that becomes unusable after that happens. And is Pain in the a.... to uninstall and install again. Mostly because I am NOT a computer person.
    So I do apologize for not using correct language.
    The laptop is an old Acer ES1-311, WIN 7 Pro, with 4 Gb RAM. And no UEFI support.
    So I installed V4.
    My question is - how long does it take before the program is finnished analysing?
    Its been running for 36½ hours now!!
    At the moment its saying: Test: #10
    Pass: 21
    On the bottom:
    Pass complete, no errors, press Esc to exit

    Am I supposed to wait untill some sort of result comes up? And the "things" stops happening in the screen?

    Thank you!

    In V4.x, it will continuous run and loop forever unless you manually stop the testing. The pass counter increments after all of the selected tests have been run. Generally a single pass is sufficient to catch all but the most obscure errors. After a several passes without error, you can safely assume the RAM is okay.
