    can you download and burn memtest86+ and run it overnight? I'm pretty sure you've got some bad ram.

    ok, but i have 2 important questions about memtest86+

    1.) I search it in the net and poof out 2 sites, 1 memtest.com and memtest.org, i think they are the same but what should i download and burn into a cd? bootable ISO, or binary? And when i download it, should i open it first or just straightly burn it to a cd?

    2.) How do i boot from a cd? can you give me an instruction? what to press... is it the same with F5? then there is an option?

    Also, btw, there is a popping up trojan, every time i use Avira antivir.. its called a C:/Ark1.tmp, sometimes with Ark 1 up to 8... I looked it up on the net but they all use the log stuff and i cant understand anything about it, someone even suggested to a person who got that problem to just reinstall the OS... should i do the same? i think that the one who is screwing with my old laptop...

    http://www.memtest.org/download/2.11/memtest86+-2.11.iso.zip

    burn the ISO to a CD, then before you go to bed reboot the computer with the CD in the drive. as soon as it finishes the power on self test (short memory test and detecting drives), press Esc and F12 (only one of them works, but which one it is varies between computers). You should get a menu asking you which drive you want to boot from. In the morning, note how many errors it has found (should be none), and reboot your computer.

    to get rid of those files, boot into safe mode (F5 when windows starts) and delete them. if it doesn't work I'll upload a CD that will let you delete them.

    wow, thanks again Loonylion, done the first bit exactly as you told me, and its already running memtest. didn't imagine that it would take this long. when you said do it before i go to bed, i didn't imagine that it will need at least the usual 6-8 hours of sleep. well, i'm not complaining, and would do the second bit after the memtest.

    Thank you very much.

    it never finishes. The longer it runs the more chance there is of it finding problems. Overnight usually gives a good indication though.

    no, it's not intended to ever finish, you stop it after its run for a while. So long as its performed all its tests at least once, which it will have by now. Running it overnight allows it to perform all the tests several times, which should pick up intermittent errors. It should never need to be run for longer than 24 hours. (over 24 hours there's a 99% chance you're just wasting time because its found just about all there is to find). Check the errors section at the lower part of the machine, and note if any are displayed, then press the button it says (space or esc, not sure which, it may even be the legendary 'any' key) to reboot the computer.

    send me a picture of the screen if you havent rebooted already. If it found any errors at all then your ram is bad. Reinstalling will not help. You need to find which module is bad and replace it.

    to determine which module is bad you need to remove as many of them as you can (in a desktop you have to leave one in, in a laptop some of the ram may be non-removable. To work it out, add the capacities of the modules (written on the stickers) and subtract the total from the total amount of memory the laptop has. If the answer is 0 or negative then leave one module in, otherwise take them all out since theres non-removable memory) Run memtest86+ overnight again. if it doesnt find any errors, then change the module thats in and run memtest86+ overnight again. repeat until you find the module that is causing the errors, then replace that module with a new one. if it is the non-removable memory causing errors, replace the laptop or send it for repair.

    That makes so little sense it's not even funny. In layman's terms, if you see a lot of red, then there's something wrong.

    if there is anything at all in the errors list, then there is something wrong. Most ram is not error tolerant.

    ok, i'll do the memtest again without the extra ram. i'll just let it check the non-removable ram. also, i used my sis's cam, and here is a new error when it booted:
