Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Put memtest86 on a bootable CD or floppy. You can get a bootable CD iso from the memtest website. That is what I did, since I will never get another floppy drive again.

If you want to have memtest, as well as a host of other great testing/recover software, you should take a look at the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (which includes memtest). I've been using it at work, and it has tons of tools that are incredibly hand...

It works by scanning and testing the memory banks on your ram sticks. You need to tell your computer to boot to the floppy drive in the bios and the program will automatically launch with the floppy in the drive.
