Burn memtest to a cd (you need a program dont copy it as is, it wont work
Or put it on a USB flash dive
To test the hdd, if its seagate use seatools
You'll also need a blank cd for this. Since its an ISO
bsod need help 0x8e

I have a lenovo r61i laptop windows xp professional service pack 3 intel pentium dual cpu t2310 @ 1.46ghz x2. I had this problem before and somehow i fixed it i think i done a bios update this time it dosent work i just get blue screen with following stop code: 0x8e (0xc05, 0x80637f53, 0xa3fd299c,0x0) I have tried my memory modules by taking them out trying one at time and same problem i could get into safe mode with networking but now the networking will not work just safe mode i also tried selective startup and diagnostic startup still bsod used system restore it worked but then when i shut down laptop and went to use it again same thing again. can find loads info on code 8e but dont seem to help so i wrote the full code down as i dont know how to read these codes. i have no xp cd. sometimes i can get past bsod and get plain blue screen and get task manager up and i try new task explorer.exe but then bsod again

2013-02-25T03:55:27+00:00 You burn the testing tool to a cd then boot from the cd. You then execute the test. I'm not at my computer at the moment, but I will post the instructions for you tomorrow when I am back at my computer.

I wasn't able to see J.DD's post above linking you to Memtest. There is no reason for me to re-post the same instructions. I will only add a link which will instruct on how to burn the Memtest iso image to a cd or dvd. See HERE.
