Memtest is a standalone program that requires no operating system to run. It can easily be run from a variety of media including a bootable USB flash drive. A
bootable USB flash drive is an extremely useful and versatile tool. Corsair provides a utility users can utilize to make their flash drives bootable. The current
version also has Memtest embedded in the installation. The Corsair bootable USB flash tool can be found

Once you have a bootable USB flash drive, you simply boot your system from the device and Memtest runs automatically. We recommend using the default
settings so no setup of Memtest is required. Users have the option of manually selecting their boot device during the BIOS POST process or, they can set the
USB device as the first boot device in the BIOS.
In this example, press the F12 key to select the manual boot menu.
Once you have this menu, select the USB drive. In this example, the BIOS recognizes the Corsair flash drive as a USB hard disk drive, or USB HDD.
