If you get errors and you have multiple RAM sticks, take one out a time and retest.

Go to Start then to Run
Type in compmgmt.msc and click Enter
On the left side click on Disk Management
On the right side you will see your hard drive.
Now I need you to take an expanded screenshot and attach it to your next reply. Do the following to take a screenshot while the above is open and showing on your desktop.
