My computer started showing some problems like "could not read memory from"—– something it shows blue caption with white words saying win xp has stopped working due to some problem. Sometimes it does not boot properly close and starts many times. I tried to repair it with windows cd but few files were not copied saying these are corrupt. I formatted it and and installed fresh xp then I went to Microsoft site to updated. After downloading few files it restarted and again behaving as it was doing before I installed new Xp. My earlier xp installation worked for 9 months. Please help what to do. How to solve this. Is there free software that can repair Xp? What are the indications if RAM is not working properly

I think my computer is messed up it runs really slow and it keeps asking to allow some bs it is driving me crazy I can’t do anything on it and when I want to leave a site it deletes everything and I have to start all over! My computer was in storage for 9 months and I think the heat messed it up so I would like to wipe it clean and start fresh I have the cd to reboot it but I don’t know how to do it I am not very computer friendly either!
