    For the audio with yellow icon and black exclamation mark in device manager > right click > update driver
    If the yellow triangle disappears the step is completed.
    If the yellow triangle does not disappear > right click > uninstall > click action > scan for hardware change
    re-run the audio troubleshooter

    The laptop has not froze up since last Thursday. I will perform the safe mode step and get back with you. Thanks for all of your help.

    1) In the left lower corner search type: system or system control > open system control panel > on the left pane click advanced system settings > on the advanced tab under performance > click on settings > click on advanced tab > under virtual memory click on change > post an image of the virtual memory tab into the thread

    2) For windows error reporting change startup type from manual to automatic > for service status click start > click ok > reboot

    3)
    Run memtest86+ version 5.01 for at least 8 passes. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
    This may take hours so plan to run it overnight.
    Please make sure you use the Memtest86+ version 5.01 with the link below.
    Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
    The testing is done not by time but by passes.
    The more passes the better.
    There are a significant number of false negatives if fewer than 8 passes are made.
    A false negative is a test pass when there is malfunctioning RAM.
    There is 8 GB of RAM on the computer.
    Memtest86+ version 5.01 testing takes approximately 1 - 2 hours /GB RAM
    Just 1 error is a fail and you can abort testing.
    Then test 1 RAM module at a time in the same DIMM each for 8 or more passes.
    When Memtest86+ has completed 8 or more passes use a camera or smart phone camera to take a picture and post an image into the thread.
