As tempted as I was to just say yes and then watch the responses...
This is not a case of throw hardware at it. In fact I don't know what it's a
case of - it could indeed be bad RAM but more wouldn't solve that - that
would just make diagnosing the problem more troublesome...
Alright... Reach down to your keyboard and find the WinKey - looks like the
Windows logo and might say start...
Press it and the Pause/Break button... You might need to (on a lappy) hit Fn
first or on a funky keyboard hit the F-Lock key...
(This brings up the system properties dialogue)
There?
Click the advanced tab. Click startup and recovery. UN-tick the
automatically reboot bit... Repost with the error that you capture and give
us the error number exactly. Else see here with your info:
