Windows startup errors constantly.

Hi all.

Over the last few days o have out 5 clean installs of Windows 10 on my PC, only for it to have problems.

Various things seem to cause it but I get errors around .dll file not working and this programme was unable to start etc etc.

I get the spinning circle on the Windows logo followed by a black screen with just a cursor then it starts and on the desktop I get an long loading icon next to my cursor.

I have clean installed the OS 5 times and it keeps happening. Sick sick sick of it.

Any help?

What would cause the OS to become unresponsive for long periods? Could that be a RAM fault?

Got a new one now windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is unavailable.

It's just one odd error after another. Just done a RAM test and it seemed OK. Might try a new making a new boot drive.

It was the RAM.

Took out 1 stick at a time. Problem went away when stick 3 was removed.
