I doubt you have any memory issues, if you did, you would probably be
experiencing blue screens, rebooting or hanging randomly.

For purposes of diagnostics, I would eject the flash drive for the
time being.

Yes, post the other errors when you can.

Also, if you are using Mcaffee, that is the first piece of software I
would uninstall from the computer.

Next, if you know how to produce a screen capture, from the program
management control panel, it would be useful if you posted the list
of installed software.

Lastly, are you using the notebook primarily connected to A/C power
or on battery? When on battery power, most notebooks kick the CPU
into power saving mode, which involves dramatically reducing the
processing speed.


I'm not using the flash drive, that was yesterday.

There is nothing wrong with the memory.

The computer runs off the battery until it get low. I'll plug it in to
AC and see if that makes a difference.

Right now the Dell is installing 13 updates.
