Thank for that information. I finished downloading all the MS updates. Right now my computer seems to be perfect - running smooth without that problem. But the long weekend will tell the story. Still I will open the case and clean and check it out as much as I can. I will especially check out the RAM and get another look at it. Maybe something happened in all the recovery and updating all the MS updates again that it set itself back to normal. I will wait and see before I start cheering.

I did some research on your PC model. It definitely has CPU integrated graphics, which apparently uses some of your RAM, so I won't count out a possible RAM issue.

I did find that your PC does have a PCI-e slot on the motherboard. If this turns out to be a graphics problem (I'm 95% sure), I would consider buying a compatible Nvidia graphics card to handle your graphics. You can get one for around $75 that has its own memory chip (usually 1GB). It will perform much better than your integrated graphics.
