What program did you use for the RAM test and how long did you run it for?

I ran the windows memory diagnostics test one time, results were good.

Download and run MemTest86+ to test your RAM. RAM - Test with Memtest86+

   Note

Run MemTest86+ for at least 8 passes. Ideally set it off before you go to bed and leave it overnight, we're looking for zero errors here. A single error will show something's going bad with your RAM.

Ok, I will run it overnight and get the results back to you in the morning.

I ran it overnight, about 8 hours, it started going slow after a bit and only got through 3 passes, the first one took only 25 minutes.

It needs 8 complete sequential passes to be conclusive.

Alright, I guess I'll try it again later. I'm going to try installing Windows 7 to my new hard drive first and see if that fixes it.

Say it was a problem with the hard drive my OS is currently on, would installing Windows 7 onto my SSD, then hooking the old hard drive up again to use as secondary storage work?

Also, would installing windows onto an SSD be faster than on a HDD?

Windows on an SSD would be miles faster than on an HDD. You should be able to hook up the HDD as storage but you'd need to format it after retrieving all of your files.

Thanks for the fast reply, I'll try installing Windows 7 onto my SSD tonight, that would also require the using UEFI, correct?
