OT: Memtest 86+ 7.0 download is really Passmark

Philx509

Guys, I know this is OT, but I'm hoping that some of the really experienced guys here can help me out.

I'm trying to use memtest86+ 7.0, so I downloaded it from this website  https://memtest.org/,  I want to use this program, because the webiste claims their program runs an unlimited number of passes.  However, the program that is actually downloaded is a different memory test program from Passmark. You can download the Passmark program diurectly from https://www.memtest86.com/index.html   I don't like thisprogram because it does only 4 passes. 

Anyone know where I can download the real memtest86+ v 7 program?

My wife's Lenovo laptop has been experiencing random BSODs, always the same error and always the same software module.  I need to rule out hardware before trying to chase down an elusive software problem.

Hi,

Wouldn't waste your time other than using the built in Memtest86+ in the UEFI to test for faulty DIMMs. Use Karhu Ramtest or TM5 from within the OS. Far more stringent at testing DDR5 memory stability.
