Shane: Can you tell me where I can download the C-Cleaner program, and if it
is a freeby or not? Thanks.

Best thing to do in that case is attempt running the test on the
computer having problems, assuming you can get it to stay up long enough
to run the test. Wow, 8088? I remember those. Actually, my first laptop
was an 8086 running I think Dos 4.10, later upgraded to Dos 5.0. Think
this was back in the late 1980's. I am pretty sure even a 15 year old
computer would trounce that 8086 any day of the week with both hands
tied behind it's back. At any rate, give the programs I mentioned a
whirl and see what happens. Oh, and the less running in the background,
the better, especially for the memory test.
If you are interested in the docking station I mentioned, here's a link
for it.

Shane,
I do not have the docking station. I have this old desktop and an hp
laptop that is as about as fast as an old 8088.

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:
https://www.howtogeek.com/171633/why-using-a-registry-cleaner-wont-speed-up-your-pc-or-fix-crashes/
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.

I do suspect a hardware problem but want to eliminate any software
issues
first.
