If you've made the floppy (ran the setup file so it could install its files to the floppy), then all you need to do is boot the floppy like a startup disk. You will see an option to run "burnin" loops. Take that and let it complete at least a couple before pressing 'esc'. If it fails any, then that is a good indication of ram problems.

It's been a while since I have used this. I wanted to try it myself.
Put the floppy in the drive and restart the computer. You will be able to use your mouse. The cursor is going to be a rectangle.
When the Screen Appears you will see this:
select Type of Test
click on Burn-in test
It will start. Look at the top left. Look at status. Loop. Do 4 loops. Press esc to stop the test after it has gone through 4 loops.

Look at the lower section. It is blue. The results will be there. If everything says pass then you are not 100% clear but if you fail, you probably have some faulty RAM.

If you have any failures, note them. Look at the toolbar. Save as and then save the results.

Remove the floppy.

Restart to Windows.
