Ah, well I passed on all the information that you all contributed, thanks, and he is going to buy another similar stick to the one he bought and try that.
So should this be reopened & we wait to hear what fixes it before points are distributed?
Try relocating the RAM in another slot on the system board. also double check to see if the computer is up to date from Microsoft updates.
