New Memory Issues ??
About a week ago,I installed some new ram in a Presario CQ 57-229WM.I removed (1) one gb stick out of two and replaced it with a 4 gb stick for a total of five.Upon reboots my pc began giving me error messages such as a "hardware problem" within the memory and that my drive needed to be scanned for errors.Windows mem diagnostics told me nothing other than there being a hardware problem.Dskchk found no errors.Next,I ran Malwarebyytes.Malwarebytes found a few (46) "pups" (whatever those exactly are) and quarantined them.Next,I ran an Avast boot scan.Avast found some issues with Java (which Firefox had turned off months ago) and quarantined them.Now,Firefox seems to be crashing A LOT on that pc.In fact,as I was writing this (before) the entire pc crashed.Needless to say-I am on another pc writing this.I am at wits end.I was going to try using my Eusing registry cleaner but,it won't update ! And,just for your info...I have not tried booting either Windows or Firefox in safe mode (don't know what good that would do me,really).I have written the person who sold me the memory (through ebay) but,that was on Fri.So,I haven't heard anything from him yet.Does ANYONE have any ideas ? Before I purchased this memory,I made certain that it was compatible (at least I thought I had). My next idea,is to remove the new memory and put the old (2) one gb sticks back in Anyone ????????????
