I'm trying to fix a family member's PC, but am a bit stuck as to which part is faulty.
Windows is extremely slow and will randomly freeze or even reboot. I ran memtest86 from a bootable USB stick but even that froze after a short while.
So I'm thinking faulty mobo or CPU, but not sure which and I don't have spares with me to test. The machine is about 2 years old. Motherboard is an Asus M4A79XTD and it has a Phenom II X4 965 CPU. RAM IS 8GB DDR3.
Any help much appreciated!
