Have you tried it???? THe idea is, if it is a hardware issue the memory test will fail to run for an extended period of time without the computer shutting down.. If it is a software issue, then it will run fine... If the only way you are deciding that the computer wont stay on for more than 30 seconds, is to try and boot windows, then that doesn't tell you much. :) Ofcourse, you will have to download the memory diagnostics software on a working PC and make the bootable CD on the good PC.
