Do you ever use Hibernate?

If the computer is slowing down often, then bad RAM is usually the issue.

I never deliberately use Hibernate, but if I leave the computer on for a while, it automatically goes into Hibernate.
I'll try removing one and then the other RAM chip and see if it makes a difference.

Okay. Let me know.

Wow, you may be the Master! There are two 1G RAM chips in my system. When I took out one of them, after 20 minutes, the computer had still not finished booting. I replaced it with the other RAM chip, it booted very quickly and is now zipping along faster than I have seen it for a long time! So, I think the first chip has problems. I'm still afraid to trust that it will last!
Thank-you, Spencer Gross
