I'm guessing the legacy version won't boot with UEFI which is what you are seeing. Bijan
I think author talks about Memtest86+, not PassMark's Memtest86. There are two independently developed programs: https://www.memtest.org/ https://www.memtest86.com/ Memtest86+ (Plus) uses https://www.memtest.org/ webpage. This one doesn't work in UEFI at all, to my knowledge. It's open source. Memtest86 uses https://www.memtest86.com/. This one one is much more established, and its being developed by PassMark Software. It only works in UEFI, but old legacy versions for BIOS are available for download. They have free and paid versions. Free version works perfectly fine, but I didn't checked the licence if GPL or not? I suggest to OP to use what works :) Either of the two. Unless open source is a requirement then he may need to stick to Memtest86+. -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
