If you have a Win9X Startup Disc or CD at hand (I cannot confirm anything that follows,
if you are using a 2000 or XP CD), set your machine to boot off the cd if it won't
boot normally. Essentially what I am suggesting is booting into 'Safe Mode' which
by default automatically checks your 'hardware' memory and will report any faults.
No third party software is required for this, although I sure there is plenty of
free & shareware out there that would do the job. I hope this may be of some help
to you.
Good Luck & Regards
Gary
