Package: memtest86+ Version: 5.01-3.1 Severity: important
Hi. On a system with 32GB RAM, memtest86+ freezes every time at 15% of the first test. The system is a Fujitsu Lifebook U757, having the newest BIOS, running with BIOS compatibility mode enabled. Recently, my notebook hanged up itself (the frist time in months), so I decide to run some memtest. Yet I'd still suspect the memory is in fact good (it runs just normally now, no data corruptions, no strangely dying processes or similar). And memtest86+ doesn't find an error it just freezes. Unlike the many known bugs of memtest86+ this is not in SMP mode. In fact, it might perhaps even be the new BIOS, which also installed new CPU microcode. Perhaps there is some further memory protection now, which memtest86+ chokes upon? Any ideas? Cheers, Chris.
