I need to run memtest86 because my ram is going bad and I want to pinpoint which one it is. I don't know how to change from legacy to UEFI, (which is apparently necessary and I've no idea of the easiest way to do it.) and when I tried following directions to use diskpart I ended up being told "Cannot find OS Partition(s) for disk 0". I know that my OS is on disk "1" but I don't know what to do from here. If It's checking specifically disk "0" Do I need to switch the partition disk labels? Would it be easier to just unplug my storage drive for now? Any help is appreciated.
There are some other options to eliminate this requirement as well. First one is that you can use the DRAM Calculator for Ryzen from TechPowerUp as while the interface is a bit clunky and it has a lot of features that are kind of irrelevant, it does offer a much better GUI for using HCI for free (the paid HCI GUI is better though). You just head over to the "MEMBENCH" tab, change the mode to stress, set the total amount of RAM you want to stress (so if you have 16GB of RAM, set this to something like 14GB), set the number of threads you want to use (this is the number of windows you'd open), set how long you want it to run for, and hit start. TestMem5 is probably also a better setup for this. The UI is a little bit clunky and takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get used to it it's a lot faster to setup and use than all the other stress tests.

You just have to download the memtest86-usb.zip archive and extract it. From there, you'll find an IMG file extracted which can then be burned to a USB drive with a program like etcher. Boot up the image and from the USB drive and you'll have access to the program.Features of Memtest86
Windows XP has no good ones, for Windows 7 (And maybe Vista) you would have the built in memory tester in windows which reboots the PC and does it properly.
The best thing you can do for your Windows XP machine is burn a CD (or USB stick) with Memtest86+ which you can download from here : its by far the best memory tester on BIOS based systems.
I've created a Memtest86 bootable usb flashdrive with Windows 8.1. I've tried to start an iMac with it by holding C while it starts and it doesn't work, does nothing. I also tried holding Alt, doesn't work either. According to memtest, creating the flashdrive from windows should boot a mac as well. Am I right?
