[CentOS] Kernel Panic - Not synching Machine Check

I do have remote hands. When grub loads, it doesnt show the memtest86 option.

"select mentest86 option in boot menu."
In which boot menu should I look for memtest86. ?

I am currently logged into the box. It runs fine for a couple of hours
before it gives the kernel error. Can i run the memtest86 check from
the shell ?
