Post by bigpup »

If you think the memory in the computer is bad or not properly working.
Memtest86 is the RAM test program to use.

To check memory download and burn a bootable CD or USB flash drive of Memtest86.
http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

This is the archive for Memtest86 versions:
https://www.memtest.org/archives

WARNING:
Be careful what you click on to download Memtest86.
That web site has adds that have downloads for different programs.
You have to look closely to find the actual Memtest86 download.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
