You can make a boot CD from memtest86.exe and check the memory out. You can also try one, then the other memory stick.

I had a customer give me a system that he said would not boot into Windows. &nbsp;The system is an ASUS M32CD-B09 - with Windows 10 - when you first turn it on, it automatically goes into Preparing Automatic Repair and then gives a blue screen with a WHEA Uncorrectable error on it and reboots. &nbsp;I have went into BIOS and was able to get it to boot to Windows 10 USB drive but get a Window logo - few dots circling and then locks up. &nbsp;I have tried to boot to a Linux CD as well - gets into Linux but cannot do anything. &nbsp;I looked up that WHEA error and said it could be a hardware error?

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
