    Try these one by one:
    1. Swap out the power supply E.g. if you are using a power strip, plug directly into wall outlet.
    2. If your bios allows it, change the voltage to memory.
    2. if you have 2 or more memory sticks, change their order or remove one.
    3. Change your antivirus.
    4. Turn off HDD powersaving
    Good luck!

    1. Changed directly to wall outlet
    2. I changed order of memory sticks; they are 1GB each, and again the memory check said hardware/memory problem then recheck no problem with same check?! Haven't removed one yet.
    3. Computer had same effect with other or no AV
    4. Power saving to balanced. If not correct how do I turn off HDD powersaving
    5. Still not crashing at safe mode?
    6. Any help is awesome
    7. Thank you venu:)

    Try removing each ram stick alternately and test after each removal.

    To turn off hdd powersaving do the following:
    Go to Control panel. Click on Power options icon.
    Click on the Change plan settings link to the right of your current power plan.
    Click on the Change advanced power settings link.
    Click on the + sign before Hard Disk.
    Set Turn Hard Disk after to Never or 0.

    Ok, I let it run all night playing movies and testing it and it still hasn't crashed. As stated did the recommended HDD stuff and it's running fine. Now I left all the devices disabled from previous suggestions. I have not swtiched out memory sticks since it is not crashing. So should I assume it's fixed and enable devices. It was still crashing with them disabled so I think it's safe to do so.

    Thanks venu for your help dude. I'm hoping this non-crash isn't just chance and it's fixed but will respond if it's still crashing later

    In much appreciation:biggrin:
