I'd test the hard drive first. Usually it's the number 1 thing that goes out. If you have a second computer with a USB port and a docking station for hard drives, this should be relatively straight forward. Basically what you do is connect the hard drive to the station, connect the station to your second computer via USB, then run tests to see if there are problems. Based on what you've said I'm assuming you know some about this. For thorough testing of a hard drive, you may want to look up "Bart's Stuff Test". It's an old program but it works nicely and it's free.

If the hard drive is sound, and you want to test memory, look up "Mem Test HCI". There's a free and a commercial version. The free version should do what you want.

hello Shane, Thanks, this is what I always thought. I am at the point where I am willing to do anything. I guess that I will just first to try the reinstall of windows. If it does not work it confirms my thought that it is a hardware problem. I will then probably replace both the mb and hd. Reinstall win 7 then upgrade to 10. This machine is about 6 years old a few months after win 7 was released

I'd run cCleaner. It does a pretty good job and is accessible for the
most part. However you may wish to consider a couple articles:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/are-registry-cleaners-still-needed-on-windows-10-microsoft-says-they-re-not-498103.shtml

Take the  second one  for what it's worth.

What is the best win 7 reg cleaner. I want to try that before  I try to
reconstruct this machine.
I do suspect a hardware problem but want to eliminate any software issues
first.
