8GB of RAM
Windows 7 professional

Hi Craig239232,
The Pre-Boot Self Assessment Diagnostics are integrated into the BIOS. These tests will run even if the system lacks any media (hard drive, CD drive, etc.). Please follow the steps provided in the link that was provided in my previous post and let me know the results.
