that ram test looks interesting but i dont have any spare cds on me at the moment, and it looks rather daunting as you said, but i have a feeling its nothing to do with my ram, is they any other online program i can run to check said queries you mentioned?. as im not to confident in doing all that with my knowledge at programming

You can always try the running one stick method I outlined above.

Don't forget about testing the cpu.

Can you do the stress test please of the cpu and the testing of the ram (run on one stick).

Hi Jakeb,
set the stability test for 1hr and as you have speedfan, watch the cpu temp and if it starts to climb above 70c then stop the test.

Unfortunately without completing any tests it's hard to tell you why. The reason we ask you to do these tests is so we can determine what the issue is. If you simply refuse to do them then that's of course your choice.

What about the RAM test or did your friend say that was pointless too?

Perhaps your friend knows what the issue is?
