I picked up a laptop at the flea market. Seems to be Chinese product for internal market. It had Windows Starter that didn't even boot at all. I installed Linux and found out that its motherboard can't boot in non-UEFI mode at all. So no LiveCDs. In UEFI, there in no memstest86+. How can I ran some memory check of this machine, short of disassembling it and plugging memory somewhere else??? Windows can run memory tests after booting, can we?

Try memtester. It's in the repositories (at least, for 14.04, which I happen to have running at the moment).

Alternatively, you could try memtest86 for EFI.
