    Memory is not like a hard disk, you can't route around it as far as I know. I suspect you have a real hardware issue, and while it hasn't hit you yet it will eventually. A diagnostic will verify if you have a problem, kind of like a second opinion. I know this site has some decent tools, but I can't personally recommend any.

    You may yet have to buy some memory, but I'll step aside and let someone else recommend a good memory test to verify.

    Memtest86+ is a good utility to test your memory. Perhaps your memory isn't seated well? I'm just grasping at straws here.

    Apparently that is from a program called Spyware Doctor from PCTools. You aren't the only person seeing that message when the computer starts up. To avoid seeing it, don't have Spyware Doctor run on startup.
