[QUOTE="Schnick, post: 474890, member: 40126"] You've already done the drastic thing and went for a new system (any excuse for something new eh?). Going from what I've read so far, it sounds like you've killed a RAM module in your system. Is the system well ventilated and not surrounded by clutter? I have a lot of computers at work that suffer overheating issues because the users keep placing documents around them, blocking the PSU fan vent, which in turn fries components on the board (SFF PC Units...not great for ventilation). If you still have your old system, it may be worth swapping the RAM out with either some new stuff, or stuff borrowed out of another machine (ask a friend, if they're not using a similar spec unit for a few days while you test it). I've not went to Windows 10 yet, but I have looked into it and it seems Microsoft have done some research for once on what users are wanting, and not trying to shove their own ideas down peoples throats (Windows 8, anyone?). Good luck with the new system though. [/QUOTE]
