Thanks danielf I did download that program but the whole thing froze and I had a heck of a time getting back here, but will download and try again. BTW this is doing my head in.

Downloaded prime95 once again but the whole thing once again froze and I had to manually restart the PC. Don't think my problems are solved yet.

It allowed me to do a system restore, so will monitor things for a while, will get back to you all. Many thanks for your help.
