Can anybody give me some very detailed instructions on how to run memtest.

I download memtest
Create an image and burn to cd
Set my boot priorities to cd rom first
reboot.....but nothing happens.....windows just starts up as normal

What am i doing wrong....i am going nuts here....lol

Any help will be appreciated

I am using Nero to burn the cd
 
try it in floppy mode... set the bios to run that first then run it from a floppy... that is of course if you have one in your system... most people don't now-a-days...
 
At some point it should say "Press enter to boot from CD" On a black screen (Not completly black, theres alot of writting). This comes after the POST Screen.

If it does not ask you, then one of two things. Either the file you downloaded is not bootable or you did not set the correct CD ROM to boot from in CMOS.
 
My BIOS have the option "Run memtest at POST"

I believe most BIOS have an option like this, Ste also mentioned the other integrated way.
 
u did choose the bootable one right? cuz what i think u did was that u just chose one RAR extracted it and copied the extracted files to ur disk...
