    Maybe I'll pull out the two Dell memory cards and test the others.

    You didn't answer my question about how I run the tests. Do I just boot from the USB and leave it? Will it automatically go on to the next pass when it finishes the first? The message about pressing Esc confused me, I want to make sure I get it right this time.

    Thanks again.

    Which test do you want to run?
    RAM > see post #90
    Memory problems. - Microsoft Community
    MemTest86+ - Test RAM BSOD Tutorials
    CPU
    GPU
    Drive

    Memtest 86+ version 5.01 is a start and wait for completion test.
    When it makes 8 or more passes then you can abort the testing.
    It can run indefinitely.

    Whichever you think is most likely to identify the problem!

    Yes, I just wanted to check that I was doing it right.

    I'll set it off tonight and let it run. I don't think I'll be working tomorrow, so it can run for a while. We'll see what it says.

    OK, so it's been running since Thursday evening, and if I read it correctly, it's on its 11th pass without any errors...

    Does this confirm that I don't have a memory problem?

    Hmm, let me rephrase that... does this confirm that my computer doesn't have a memory problem? I know I have one, but that's probably just old age!

    Just to summarise where I'm up to...

    *) Starting the machine sometimes works fine, sometimes not. Today I started it, and after the blue Windows logo, I had a black screen for 10-15 seconds, then the log in screen. However, when I logged in, the Start button didn't work. I restarted, and didn't get the black screen delay, but the Start button didn't work again. I restarted, and it seemed to hang at the black screen. After about 10 minutes, I manually restarted the machine, and it all went fine.

    *) After the successful boot, I don't see any WHEA events.

    *) Memory seems to be fine as far as I can see (waiting for confirmation to previous post)

    *) Both disks seem to be fine. Starting with the data (D:\) drive disconnected doesn't seem to make any differences, and all checks I've run on the C: drive show it's fine.

    Where do I go from here? There are clearly some serious issues with this machine, and reinstalling doesn't seem to help.

    Hello again,

    2) Please see attached.

    3) I asked you last week about how to find the details of the system. I have no idea about things like PSU, cooler, or case. Please advise.

    4) Sorry, I remember taking a shot of this before, looks like I forgot to post it...

    Hello,

    1-5) Will have to do later, as I'm working now.

    6-7) I already did this. Do you need me to do them again? I haven't changed any of these settings.

    8) As mentioned earlier, the machine is about 18 months old (bought Jul '16). When it arrived, I upgraded the memory (described earlier), swapped the supplied HDD with an SSD, plugged in my data drive as a second drive and reinstalled Windows. No other parts were changed then or since.

    Thanks

    The logs displayed:
    C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP was not found
    C:\Windows\Minidump does not exist.

    LogEvent : 1
    MinidumpDir : C:\Windows\Minidump
    MinidumpsCount : 5

    The double checking of the menu options and the whocrashed crash dump test are to make sure that the computer is set up to create BSOD mini dump and memory dump files for debugging.
