showstopper Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi all, My server randomly locks up and i have been putting it off for too long now! The logs show nothing and i am suspecting it to be a faulty ram module. I am running 6.5.3 and when i try reboot my machine and then try to run memtest it does nothing. It looks like it tries to do something (the screen flashes so fast and then goes back to the boot options). I read a post to download the unraid o/s and then copy over the memtest file to the flash drive, which i have done and it makes no difference. Am i doing something wrong when trying to run this?

JorgeB Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Are you booting UEFI or legacy bios? Memtest won't work in UEFI. Link to comment

I will double check - thanks for the help. Link to comment
showstopper Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 OK it is using legacy boot mode but will not boot into memtest. I will try a different usb stick. Link to comment
