  • Memtest 6.0 Freezes at splash screen

    I didn't see any other topics relating to this. When I boot the free Memtest 6.0 from USB, it freezes on the first splash screen with the "Exit" and "Config" buttons. I'm trying to run it on a Dell Latitude E7440 with the latest BIOS (A14). I'm booting using the UEFI BIOS option, also. I've attached a pic. The system seems to be frozen since no hot keys work. Any ideas how I can get it to fully load this test? Also, this USB boots and runs in other systems and this laptop will boot Windows.

    Can you E-mail us the log file.

    Also check the BIOS firmware us up to date.

    A log file (MemTest86.log) is automatically created and updated while MemTest86 V6 is running. This file is saved in the 'EFI/BOOT' directory in the USB drive's first partition.

        This issue looks very similar to this one, where there is a BIOS firmware bug in rendering text:

        If this is the case, then it would require a BIOS firmware fix. We have implemented a workaround that uses a legacy method for rendering text, which will be included in the next patch release.
