Run this now

Memtest - Instructions:

Download the ISO (or the .exe for USB drives) from here Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Then (if you have chosen the ISO) burn the ISO using IsoRecorder: ISO Recorder v3

Boot from the CD/USB and run the test (at least 7 passes per test) with only one stick of RAM in place at a time.

It is a time consuming process but it is the only way to be sure it isn't a RAM fault.

For your final test, run the test with all the RAM in place.

Ok, i downloaded this iso recorder and inatalled but it didnt make a desktop icon, start menu enty or anything!

it said it had installed propperly, i even restarted and tried to install it again. not sure whats happening there

this is the 3rd operating system install that has slowly crippled itself to death and i would just reinstall windows but im sure the same thing will happen again. run fine for a week or 2 then turn to absolute shit

dont have a usb stick to try, would a camera boot if hooked up to usb?

Now double-click on the Memtest ISO you downloaded, and ISO Recorder should pop up.

Try this free video stress test: FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net

FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit

I don't think so.
