Memory Error
4 min read
I would make sure the system is clean of heat trapping dust and dirt and that all fans are spinning properly and my temperatures are good. Then I would clean the system of clutter using Disk Cleanup or another disk cleaning utility, scan the system for malware again to be sure. I recommend Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware (MBAM) for supplemental scanning.
You can test your RAM using one of the following programs. Both require you to create and boot to a bootable floppy disk or CD to run the diagnostics. Using the floppy method is generally easier and yet another reason I still include floppy drives in my new PC builds. However, the CD method is just as effective at detecting RAM problems. Allow the diagnostics to run for several passes or even overnight. You should have no reported errors.
Windows Memory Diagnostic - see the easy to follow instructions under Quick Start Information.
or
MemTest86+ (for more advanced users) - an excellent how-to guide is available here.
It is too bad you reinstalled Windows as that is always a last resort - and as seen here, often does not fix the problem.
