  2. PurifyPlus - Wikipedia

    The ability to detect non-fatal errors is a major distinction between PurifyPlus and similar programs from the usual debuggers.By contrast, debuggers generally only allow the programmer to quickly find the sources of fatal errors, such as a program crash due to dereferencing a null pointer, but do not help to detect the non-fatal memory errors.

  3. Machine-check exception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception

    Machine checks are a hardware problem, not a software problem. They are often the result of overclocking or overheating. In some cases, the CPU will shut itself off once passing a thermal limit to avoid permanent damage.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_corruption

    Accessing such memory usually causes operating system exceptions, that most commonly lead to a program crash (unless suitable memory protection software is being used). Using memory beyond the memory that was allocated (buffer overflow): If an array is used in a loop, with incorrect terminating condition, memory beyond the array bounds may be ...

  9. Power-on self-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test

    The exponential growth of PC memory sizes, driven by the equally exponential drop in memory prices, was also a factor in this, as the duration of a memory test using a given CPU is directly proportional to the memory size. The original IBM PC could be equipped with as little as 16 KB of RAM and typically had between 64 and 640 KB; depending on ...
