I have new Dell Inspirion 7720-6167 Core i7 3630QM, 8192 MB RAM, Windows 8.
* Dell system test (from BIOS, all tests) - passed.
* Dell PC Checker (bundled windows application) - passed.
Windows Memory Diagnostic (aka WMD aka mdsched, recommended by Dell PC Checker):
standard tests - passed
extended test - freezing at 21% (no progress in ~6 hours).
After it i ran memtest86+ 3 times - no problems detected...
I know that "Windows Memory Diagnostic Freezing at 21%" is a popular issue in internet forums... So:
Is it Microsoft bug?
Should I wait WMD longer (one day or week for example ;-)?
Or It is problem with my Dell hardware?
Dell phone support said: we aren't responsible for MS tools, BUT:
- Dell site says "Dell recommend Windows 8"
- and It is Dell PC Checker, who recommend me to run WMD!
