When I rebooted my computer, upon restart it went into memtest-86. I
had never been aware that this program was on my computer. It is
running through various passes, but I cannot escape and get into
windows. When I escape it just restarts memtest-86. I let it run
for a few hours and no errors were found. How can I get out of
memtest and into windows? Thanks.
