Also another friend found a RAM stick was not working completely right. There is a Windows RAM test https://www.howtogeek.com/260813/how-to-test-your-computers-ram-for-problems/
I use the free version of MemTest (MemTest86 V7.5 Free Edition Download ) on a flash drive for further testing https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
