Re: XP Recovery Console/Reformatting - Computer Shuts Down

Ok so you were able to test the RAM sticks? How many sticks do you have? If you have 2 sticks, just install 1 and run Memtest86+ for at least 2 passes. Then do the other. This will tell you which one of the 2 modules is failing. Memory failures happen WITHOUT WARNING

By the way, Memtest will not fix your RAM. You need to replace the failing stick/s.
