Answer 4

Technical support will ask for the serial number and the exact version of the computer you have. They will take you through a system reboot that takes less than 15 minutes. But since they talk like robots even though they're humans, it will take a little longer. They will try to confuse you when you call redirecting you to the wrong people and such. Just listen to all your otions before you press a button on the phone. This will lessen the chance of waiting on hold for the wrong people

Answer 5

RAM doesn't get corrupted.  It can go bad, but not corrupted.  Most likely it is your hard drive that is corrupted.

If this is a thinkpad, you can hit the blue think button when you turn on the computer and boot into recovery mode which should all you to do a repair of the system.

You can also run a test from there that will test the RAM for errors.

Hi! Need more information from you. If you are using HP or Dell, etc., I suggest that you call their technical support for help.
