Memtest86 10.5

Memtest86 是一款專注於記憶體穩定性的檢測工具，能對 x86 架構 CPU 的電腦執行一系列完整測試，藉此判斷 RAM 是否為系統不穩定、崩潰、資料損壞或各種莫名行為的根源。它的核心價值在於幫你快速釐清問題是否出在記憶體，省去反覆交叉測試的麻煩。這套軟體由 PassMark Software 開發，長期持續更新，在同類工具中屬於歷史悠久且評價普遍不錯的選擇，雖然使用者數量不算大眾，但在需要硬體診斷的場合是相當可靠的參考。

如果你經常遇到藍屏、程式無預警關閉或系統運作異常，又懷疑是記憶體出問題，Memtest86 就很適合拿來做初步排查。它與 Rufus、Glary Utilities 等系統工具定位不同，後者偏向系統管理或開機碟製作，而 Memtest86 專注於記憶體壓力測試，功能單一但深入。使用上需留意它僅提供英文介面，且建議以開機碟方式執行以避開作業系統干擾；授權為免費軟體，對一般使用者來說門檻不高，但若要在伺服器或商業環境長期使用，仍需確認授權條款是否涵蓋。

Memtest86 is a free utility application that allows PC users any model of x86 CPU to run comprehensive tests regarding the stability of your RAM memory.
