Then it reads CD rom as a: in the directory there is only dos file, but memtest files are in f: (I have c and d parition in HDD). Although its in same CD its reading as A: and F:
F: I am finding the memtest files, but do not know how to run it

That means your ram is faulty and needs to be replaced.

And whats the cause of that? Any virus attack?

You know what I removed 256 MB ram and put in 1 GB RAM, and ran the memtest again, pass 100% after 8 tests, and error zero.
