No problem, you aren't bothering anyone. Linux has a couple of memory testers on the CDs. In 8.1 I think they are on the 2nd CD. Called "Memtest" and " Memtest86" IIRC . You can also get them from the internet. They run in dos at boot so if you set your bios to boot from floppy they will start up and you can get a full memory test. Warning this takes a while. Windows will show all the memory there during the boot up process but it lies. So do the test and HTH. Dennis
