That's what I've been trying to do. I ran memtest to see if the RAM was wonky (it's not). It "could" be the outlet (old house, old wiring) but I really have no way to test that. My only other computer is a laptop. I can't even tell if there's been a continuous power outage with that as the battery kicks in when the power goes out. Since I can't check the power, I'm down to replacing parts. I'm NOT made of money by any means (I generally live flat broke) but my computer is important to me so I'll buy components piece by piece until 1) the problem is fixed or 2) I've built a new computer. I'd much rather find the problem and "fix" it for free as that's pretty much what my budget allows.
Are there any programs that will test the PSU, mobo, CPU like memtest does for the RAM?
