I dual boot with this system and normally I'm in
Debian. My daughter came down and ask what with the
clacking that my computer is doing. When I came out
of Debian and tried to go to my other os I received
Oper System not found, and then other time's it very
slow bringing up the other OS and it will still clack
in Debian.
Thanks for the question and response on the memtest.
Don
