Bad RAM is one of the most frustrating computer problems to have as symptoms are often random and hard to pin down. MemTest86 can help diagnose faulty RAM (or rule it out as a cause of system instability). As such it is often used by system builders, PC repair stores, overclockers & PC manufacturers.
Pre-compiled binaries for older versions are sometimes hosted on community mirrors, but the Openwall Download Page provides the most secure, verified 64-bit and 32-bit Windows binaries for current versions. Key Features of Version 1.8.0
Version 1.8.0 is primarily distributed as source code for Unix-like systems.
For modern security needs, it is highly recommended to download the latest John the Ripper releases (currently 1.9.0 ), which include the "Jumbo" community-enhanced versions.
Previous character set and length limitations in default builds were removed, allowing for more complex brute-force attacks.
Compile the tool: make clean generic (or select a specific architecture like linux-x86-64 ). Run the executable from the ../run/ directory. John the Ripper password cracker - Openwall
Introduced new speed metrics, such as successful guesses per second (g/s) and candidate passwords per second (p/s), providing clearer insight into performance.
Improved generic bitslice DES code and added PowerPC G4+ AltiVec support for major speedups on compatible hardware. Installation Guide

Free, Professional or Site Edition
Since MemTest86 v5, the software is offered as a Free edition, or as a paid for Pro and Site edition. The Pro edition offers a number of additional features such as customizable reports & automation via a configuration file. The Site edition includes all features in the Pro Edition but also supports scalable deployment of MemTest86 across LAN via PXE boot.
