    I have Win7. 64Bit Home Premium.

    I am on my ADMIN Account and just Ram the Biult in Memory Test.
    And it Ran and Restarted the System.

    So now I go into EventViewer.
    On the Left Side I Click Windows Logs.

    Then a lot of things Drop Down under it that say
    Application
    Security
    Setup
    System
    Forwarded Events.

    What do I Click on to get my Log of the Memory Test?

    I Right Click on Command Prompt and Click Run As Administarot.

    Then I Type
    net user administrator /active:yes

    Then it Ads the Administrator Account to my Log On Screen.

    I Log In and go to Event Viewer and Click Windows Logs.
    Then I Right Click on System.

    The Menu Option FIND is Grayed Out.

    What now?

    I am so so sorry.

    I did not See the Readout of the Memory Test in Event Viewer.
    But I just Looked at the .TXT File I Uploaded here.

    And I See it that it says the Memory Test was good.

    So one more thing?
    If I Run a CHKDSK on my Hard Drive do I still Look in System for the Readout in Event Viewer?

    No.
    Click Application and search for Chkdsk.
    The Event ID is 26226 - Windows 7 only.

    So if I Run CHKDSK I Look Under Applications because it is a Program I Ran.

    But if I Run Scan my Memory I Look Under System.

    But are they Both not Programs I Ran?
