Hello, I just tried booting "memtest" from Knopix 8.1, but it seems to work fine on x86_64 as well as i386. See attached screenshot. I don't know why it does not work on your Intel PC. Maybe something in the firmware disables direct hardware (RAM) access, or the RAM type is not supported by this version memtest86.
