    Run Seatools again on the Mechanical drives, both the long and short test.
    If you have reduced or moved the virtual memory, set it to windows managed. Virtual Memory Paging File - Change

    Run Check Disk on the mechanical Drives Disk Check

    open an elevated command prompt ( click start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the cmd entry and select run as administrator) in the black box that opens, copy/paste sfc /scannow. If you decide to type it, notice the space between the sfc and the /. It is a system file checker which will scan your system files and attempt to correct any missing or corrupt files. What we want are the results to say windows found no integrity violations. If it says files were found but could not be repaired, close the box, reboot and run it again, after opening the administrative command prompt. You may have to reboot and run it three times for it to repair all system files. If it can't repair them after 3 reboots, let us know.

    Please Run Memtest86+

       Information
    Please download from this site only http://www.memtest.org/ in the middle of the page are the Download links, you can download the ISO.zip or the Auto USB Flash Drive installer.zip

    Extract the Zip file. If you chose the ISO image, burn it to a CD using Windows Disk Image Burner or any Image burner you may have. If you downloaded the Auto USB installer, extract it, insert your USB 2.0 Flash Drive and take note of the drive letter. Run the installer, select the Flash Drive Letter, check the format box and press next. It will install memtest86+ to a flash drive. You can use either V4.20 or V5.01. Boot from your selected media. If you use V5.01 it will tell you to press certain buttons at the start, please press no buttons. The test will begin on it's own and continue to run until you stop it. It needs to run for 8 complete passes or until you receive an error. If you receive an error, stop the test. Even 1 error is a fail. Each pass tests a different part of the ram and each of the 10 tests in each pass tests something different. It takes a minimum of 8 passes to completely test the ram, more passes are better. It is quite a long test and will take several hours depending on how much ram you have. Due to the time length it is best to run overnight. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask

    If you have any questions or observations, please ask. Where are your games installed? and please fill out your system specs in much more detail.
    Please fill out your System Specs

    I also noticed several errors in Windows Error reporting about Audiog.exe, please update your audio drivers from your motherboard's web site if any are available.

    And in case I have never mentioned it, if you are overclocking anything, please set everything back to defaults.

    Here is the run down:

    -virtual memory is currently set to windows managed;
    -I re-ran Disk Check on all three of my drives (no errors found);
    -I re-ran sfc /scannow (no integrity violations);
    -I updated my System Specs (See below);

    Tonight I will re-run Memtest86 for eight passes; and tomorrow I will look into updating audio drivers for the motherboard.
