Indicates problem with Ram Memory.
Computer on a table, computer unplugged from power, FOLLOW Anti-Static Precautions.
Remove all Ram Memory modules, ("Stick'), clean the gold plated contact pins with an eraser.
If you use an eraser on the end of a pencil, and not a solid eraser, refrain from letting the metal band of the pencil, touch the gold plated contact pins.
Rub up, and down on EACH contact pin, BOTH sides. Doesn't take much pressure, or rubbing.
In fact when you are done it may seem like you have done nothing at all.
The contact pins may not be bright, and shiny. I assure you that you have cleaned them. Doesn't take much 'corrosion' to make a bad contact surface.
Use air to remove the eraser dust. You can use a can of compressed air for computers if available, or air pressure from your mouth will be sufficient.
Reinstall all Ram Memory modules.
Handle the Ram Memory modules by the BODY.
The Body is everywhere on the Ram Memory module EXCEPT the gold plated contact pins at the bottom.
The Body is coated with a see-through protective plastic.

Your body carries Static electricity. Static WILL fry out (Short Circuit), the delicate hardware components inside a computer.
Relieve your body of Static BEFORE reaching inside your computer.
Computer on a table, computer Unplugged from power, computer case open;
TOUCH an unpainted surface, of the metal frame of the open computer case.
This action will relieve your body of Static.
IF you leave your computer in the middle of working on it, be SURE to Touch the metal frame again upon your return.
