How to enable memory diagnostics under Windows 8

Since Windows 8 is particularly enhanced in terms of stability and ease of use, after inheriting the security and ease of use of the Windows 7 platform, in order to minimize the interruption to the average user, from the Q version of the blue screen, start screen, more The use of new operating systems is more natural for end users, such as shortcuts, strong support for newer hardware, Defender, which reduces user intervention but is still safe, and reduced user waits and anxious dialogs through optimized operations.

But sometimes I will get help from some relatives and friends. They choose this kind of help instead of the OEM equipment manufacturer's customer service. The reason is that they are more affectionate, so if you pass your question at this time Solve very happy for each other. Today's topic stems from a friend's chat. Under the premise of good self-healing of Windows 8, some underlying hardware checks are needed for some inexplicable failures. Today, the memory diagnostic tool is needed, but the advanced boot of Windows 8 There is no previous "memory diagnostic tool" in the interface.

Ø Non-user-independent automatic booting out of Windows RE environment

l When the system does not load normally within two minutes (crash, unexpected shutdown, etc.) )

l Two boot failures

l encountered sector startup error

l BitLocker error

When encountering this "non-user-independent In the case of automatic booting out of the Windows RE environment, we also want to go to the memory diagnostics in Figure 1. How can we do this? In fact, we can do this.

3. Then we enter the environment to restart and check the problem immediately< Br>

Figure 9 All Chinese operation and diagnostic instructions, use the F 1 function key to make more choices, use the ESC key to push the diagnosis

Figure 10 More options seen through the F1 function key Use the Tab key to switch, F10 to apply, ESC to cancel

Summary: Through the above introduction, the method to enter the memory diagnostic tool can be passed:

1. Start screen search “ Memory”etc. Mobilize key word out

2. Use of the & ldquo should plan under Advanced startup (Windows RE environment); mdsched & rdquo; to achieve.

At the same time, Windows 8 better balances the situation where ordinary users are too involved in complex program operations, and provides more valuable space and processing for IT support and maintenance workers in the enterprise environment. Methods.
