Early 2011 MackBook Pro RAM Testing

[ecurnes8888]

Hello,
New to this forum first post. I have been searching all night with nothing found on this, I have a Early 2011 MackBook Pro with the Intel Core i7 and just upgraded to 16Gb 1600Mhz RAM and want to test it. I found MemTest86+ and followed the instructions of downloading the [gz] file (I believe also for Linux) and burning the .iso file on a CD but it wont show up on the boot menu i believe it does not work with this model, is there any other test I can use to make sure this RAM will not fail me?

Just use it, if it is recognized it is working fine.

use MEMTEST

I have tried Memtest86 and Memtest86+ the problem is when i goto the boot from screen the disk does not show up, I tried putting in the OS X CD and it sees that, but act's like the Memtest86 disc's aren't even there.

ya this one does not need a cd just installs a small app, that you type the command it says in Terminal and it will run the test

How much of the RAM is this going to test, I saw that people were saying to use MemTest86 because it didnt load your OS therfore tested the max amount of RAM it could while others can't get a good test on you'r RAM because its mostly in use.
