my ram seems to be badly damaged. whenever i boot up my pc everything works fine for about 10 minutes, then it makes a spluttering coughing-type sound, and that's when it all kicks off. my curser stutters across the screen in a stop-start motion, then locks up and crashes. i have tried all suggestions in windows help, used all ant-virus guff, a system restore and even the dreaded total recovery disk, wiping all i had before.
the same thing happens though!
on occasion my diskdrive will go 'awol' from my control panel, so am unable to use it whatsoever. almost as though it uninstalls itself, but doesn't.
anyone experienced/heard of a similar problem?
