    Having trouble finding the problem
    « on: October 16, 2013, 07:26:39 PM »
    I up graded the memory on my HP pavilion 23 all in one desktop and after that it started running faster but it started glitching. It seems like it keeps refreshing on all programs on the web or the desktop. could it be the hard drive or a driver?

      Yes it was. I can't write because it starts glitching and skipping key punches.

      I was expecting more info on the RAM and the system itself...
      On that note all in ones have a tendency to overheat...check your Temps.

          For  general  reference:

          It dows temperatures and voltages.
          You can buy one of these, or something like it, for under $30 plus shipping.

          Anybody who works on their own computers should have something like this at hand.
