Q: Is there a way to test the memory in my machine?
MemTest86 seems to be a very good one. It runs in DOS mode and does extensive memory testing.
You can also turn on a simple, boot up, memory check in the BIOS settings. But the simple check can not detect all types of memory problems.

The memory card slot in the Tecra M4 only works with SD (Secure Digital) memory cards.
