  • IMPORTANT: If pressing F2 does not start the check or the PC crashes, restart and test with F1.
  • The program makes several "passes" of verification. Look at the percentage of the "Pass" that is on the top right. When you complete the 100% and finish the check you will see below a summary message (in English).
  • If the memory has errors, they will be highlighted in red. If it's OK, the message in English will tell you that the pass has been completed and that there are no errors.
  • When the test is finished press the Esc key and REMOVE THE USB quickly. Windows will start as usual.
