    Try a memory diagnostic in search, and test over night. Just type those words in search.

    Wow, I made that other post many months ago. Forgot all about it.
    Seems that the problem is deeper than I thought.
    Try to run a full anti virus scan
    Download and scan with malwarebytes.
    If negative run a mem test using the link below.
