  • MemTest86 v6.3.0 released - 27/Jan/2016

    We are pleased to announce the release of MemTest86 V6.3 which includes various enhancements/bug fixes.

    Like previous releases since v5, the MemTest86 V6.3 image supports dual booting (UEFI/BIOS). On machines that don't support UEFI, the older V4 BIOS release of MemTest86 will be automatically booted. MemTest86 V6.3.0 has been digitally signed by Microsoft and therefore is compatible with Secure Boot.

    What new in V6.3.0 compared to V6.2.0
    • New configuration file parameters MINSPDS, SPDMANUF and SPDPARTNO to specify the values that the RAM SPD must match before allowing the tests to start. This may be useful for RAM manufacturers that need to verify that the SPD data has been programmed correctly.
    • New configuration file parameter SKIPSPLASH to skip the 10 second splashscreen and proceed directly to the main menu
    • New mode for the configuration file parameter AUTOMODE to specify that MemTest86 shall run the tests immediately (skipping the splashscreen and main menu) but prompt the user to save the results after test completion
    • New configuration file parameters ADDR2SLBITS and ADDR2CSBITS to specify the bit positions of a memory address to exclusive-or (XOR) to determine which DIMM slot/chip select (0 or 1) corresponds to the failure address
    • + 15 other fixes/enhancements (Full list of changes can be found here)
