I did do a system restore when this all first started happening 2 weeks ago. It didn't fix things then. However, I will do one now and see if it works. After I do the system restore should I be able to put my other ram back?
Updated cpuz.
Thanks for the tip about memtest86+. Good to know for future testing.
I have a few questions:
1. You mentioned the SFC scan is the most important part. But I only was able to run it from w/in Windows. Does this make a difference? I know if there were files it needed to correct but that windows was currently using it wouldn't have been able to fix them.
2. Since pulling out the RAM in slots 1 and 3 my system has been stable and I haven't had any BSODs. If this is the case is a clean/repair install necessary or do you think the RAM is not the cause of the problem?
3. You said to only have slots 2 and 4 filled if I do the clean/repair install. If I do would I be able to fill the others afterward? After confirming it's stable.
4. Would uninstalling and reinstalling Norton be good enough? Just curious. Happy to use MSE for a bit if necessary.
5. You mentioned that many of the errors where processor related. Are you suggesting that my CPU is failing?
