here's where I started:



after the "diagnosis" was over it said "The Windows Memory Diagnostic
tested the computer's memory and detected hardware errors. To identify
and repair these problems, contact the computer manufacturer"

:/ very helpful microsoft, maybe its a driver issue? this PC was bought
new just a few months ago





The message was very clear it said ***hardware errors***


how can you possibly construe that as a driver issue?


Looks like a RAM problem


run memtest on one stick of ram at a time and see which one is defective.


Since it's a fairly new machine I assume it's a defect...

one old machines it can occasionally be an issue of cleaning the contacts.
