So, just paid £1400+ for a brand new gaming laptop but its acting very strangely. Chrome keeps having "Aw snap" errors where the pages dont display correctly for some reason and makes me restart chrome or my PC. Beamng.drive is having 0x000000F/0x0000001 errors or something to do with a failure of the UI which appears in the windows notification centre. Origin i have downloaded but displays nothing but the top most navigation bar on a white screen. Also, i was running the Oculus software perfectly for around a week but it suddenly needed an update. i tried to update but for some reason it wouldn't work so i decided to delete it and re install it. now, i get the "Restart Computer: Sorry, we encountered an error during installation" errors.< not sure if this is linked to anything

i have no idea what is causing this and really need an explanation or way of fixing it so i dont have to send it back.

I performed a factory reset and all of the troubles continued, otherwise i haven't had any ideas of what causes it.

Turns out the ram is faulty, that seems to cause the random errors with different software. ran the windows memory diagnostics to figure it out
