Sticks = memory modules. Computers usually have four slots for them, with
one or two used in matching pairs. Jimmy posts this site for checking the
Random Access Memory (RAM): http://www.memtest86.com . They have a
downloadable file: http://www.memtest86.com/memt30.zip Read the
instructions, and give your system the test.

The other thing which can be happening is overheating of the system. If it
doesn't have sufficient fans to keep the components, including the CPU, cool
enough, overheating can cause oddball things to happen.

If you're not familiar with the inside the computer case, you may want to
talk with a tech at your local computer store or rely on a computer-savvy
friend to help you learn before you embark on opening the case. The wrong
"bump" of a part or touching things with a magnetic screwdriver can fry a
computer.
