2. Launch Windows Memory Diagnostic
3. Choose the Restart now option.
*Once process is complete, this should automatically boot back into Windows Server 2016
4. Log back into the server
5. Launch Event Viewer
6. Navigate to Windows Logs-->System and use the Find function on the right side of the UI and search for memory.
*The event should read that there are no issues with the ram or there is an issue with at least one module if there are any found. If there are issues found, hardware troubleshooting will need to take place to find the failing module.
