It might also be worth replacing your cmos battery first anyway to see if that helps and if you want you could use memtest for the ram, Hth gjazz, Apr 2, 2013 #5 Andy Griffith Notebook Guru Reputations: 0 Messages: 64 Likes Received: 0 Trophy Points: 15 Running memtest now, no errors yet. How long am I supposed to let it run? It's at 250%
