kernel - Memtest86 in Ubuntu 14.04 problem - Ask Ubuntu


i use ubuntu 14.04 , tried update (to latest distribution) encountered error. don't quite remember error message.

reading tips forums, moved on cleaning old kernels using following method:

dpkg --list | grep linux-image  sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic  

i purged of listed old kernels. when there 2 left, purge command ceased work. there no error message, nothing happened. system didn't crash. rebooted , since every time try start system, memtest86 v4.20 starts scanning.

no matter how long let memtest test memory (up 5 hours), reboot ends same way - memtest starts on again. despite message:

*****pass complete, no errors, press esc exit***** 

is system dead? have wipe data hdd , install system again?

thanks , sorry if question asked - couldn't find 1 similar enough, namely when memtest started endless work after kernels purge.
