Hi belle232,
Thank you.
If I may suggest some things to try...
- Run Memtest86+ to test your RAM. This test is run from the CD drive. Check the link on my sig. Get the CD image file (.ISO) and burn the image into a blank CD using ImgBurn or Nero or similar. Run the this test for like 2 passes for each stick of RAM installed. We do recommend if you have 2 sticks of RAM, to test each one individually (remove one while you test the other).
- Run HDD diagnostics using Hitachi DFT or Seagate's Seatools for DOS (see my sig. for the download link). Again like Memtest86+, either one of these is run from the CD drive. With that I mean, you should download the CD image.
Post back what happens...
Thanks.
