by the way, what should I copy here after the ram test?
!
you will need to run the test for at least 2hrs ,it will show RED if there is any errors in the ram .just post back to tell us if it shows the ram as being bad.


screen shot of memtest ,if the lower blue parts goes red and shows errors you have bad ram that will need to be replaced .
