i looked, and it's 2 cards at 2 each...upgradeable to 8G with 2 4's.

I guess i'll try that before i get drastic.

Before you buy memory, try the apps I pointed to here. If that checks out ok, do a surface check on the hard drive.

• Open the My Computer window.
• Right-click on the drive and choose properties.
• Click on the tools tab.
• Click on the error-checking/check now button.
• Click on both check boxes.
• Click on start.
• You may have to reboot.

Doing those things will at least give you more information.
