Hiya Taz

Have you moved your Computer ? and when did you last clean inside your PC ?, one more thing do you get any beeps ?

No its still where it has always been, sometimes get 1 beep and cant remember when i last cleaned

1 Beep can be RAM refresh failure, i think it would be a good idea to have a clean (also this will re-seat your Ram) so please read this and you may need to pop out and buy something.
It is important to pay attention to intermittent memory failure Taz, before you make any expensive decision to replace the expensive memory - try cleaning the memory module contacts for both old and new ram to see if the problem can be fix

Here ‘s the How to

Things needed >

Contact Clean (Purchase from local computer hardware store, and will remove carbon ) or (Pure alcohol from a Chemist)
Cotton Bud ( For cleaning contact with)
Screwdriver (PC case removal)
PC user manual

1 - Keep the computer system plugged into your AC unit but ensure that the power switch on the PC is turned off. Keeping the PC plugged in the AC will ensure that case is grounded thus reducing the possibility of damaging the module or system from ESD (Electro Static Discharge)
2 -After removing the casing cover, Put on a Static Strap or ground yourself by touching any of the metal surfaces on your computer casing. Doing this step discharges any static built up on your body and clothing
3 - locate the computer memory expansion slots. This is normal visible but if in doubt, refer to your user manual instruction book.
4 – the first thing to do is to remove the memory module and perform some visual inspection to check the memory socket which sits the memory module. Make sure all the pins are straight, no cracks or broken pins must be found.

1 Wet the end of a cotton swab with the solvent, the swab should be wet but not dripping
2 Using a circular motion, clean the contacts on the memory module.
3 Allow the contact surface to dry thoroughly, thats 110% DRY.
4 Replace the memory module into the socket.
5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each module you have.
6 Power up / boot the computer to test the RAM.
7 If you see no memory errors, replace the PC's case and your good

While contact cleaner is preferred, it is also a well-known trick that you can also clean contacts with a pencil eraser. Continuing RAM errors are usually a sign of a bad memory module. If cleaning the contacts doesn't solve your problem, try to isolate the faulty module and replace itWhen you have booted up your PC it would be a good idea to reset your page file as the Virtual Memory Manager may be damaged / out of sync >

In XP
Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties > Click the Advanced tab > Under Performance > Settings > Advanced tab > Virtual Memory > Change > System managed sized, Click OK, click OK, and then click OK > Restart your Computer.
