Bringing the stick isn't going to help much, unless the stick is marked with all of the required information (more often than not, they aren't). She just needs to note down the type and speed of the RAM that the Crucial memory detector found.

Fritz- a little of both. Sometimes we'll get the "blue screen of death" (as my hubby calls it" where it says "your system is shutting down blah blah" Sometimes just a program will shut down, other times the whole computer re-boots

Ah, so it's not turning off. Blue screens could be caused by many different things, such as buggy drivers, malware, bad hardware or out of date software.

If you are looking for a new machine take a look at Dell Financial http://www.dfsdirectsales.com/ they sell corporate off lease (refurbished)machines that are a real bargin. I have bought several and they are a great buy.

Posted By YZRacer on 09/18/2007 7:50 AM I would say that the majority of it is over 3 years old, but the motherboard (whatever that is) is about a year old. I did the scan as mentioned above, didn't realize i was only running 256. It said I have another slot, so I'll see if DH can add somemore. I think he is just trying to get me to okay the purchase of a Mac I just assume fix up what we have. We aren't doing anything fancy. Some word processing, photoshop, iTunes and internet. Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Follow your DH's suggestion. Not only will it be the best solution, but in his eyes, you will automatically be elevated to Super DW status.
