System Restore points silently disappear

<< < (9/16) > >>

Steevo:
I found out why the Microsoft memory test was discontinued, it only tests up to 4 GB.
It gave a message that this was a limitation of that program, not the computer.  So they knew.

I ran memtest86 for a while, it progressed through test 5 and part of 6 before I stopped it. No errors. I have 24 GB of ram.
The test was not exhaustive, but I will let it run overnight tonight.

So I have no memory problems, or no big ones so far.
No disk problems, I think.

Julian:
Yep Max that windows handles with x86 is 4gb lol so that sounds about right

Well, that's not exactly true.  32 bit windows, yes. 
64 bit windows, not at all true.  64 bit windows is not at all new.

I have windows 7 64 bit and 24 gb of ram. 

Back to the topic:

As of this morning, I have no restore points.
All gone.

So I just don't know.

Julian:
X86 is 32 bit so x86 programs are 32 bit Windows mem test is a 32 bit application

Steevo:
Which is why I used memtest86, which does not have that limitation.

It works pretty well, I think.
