    Not sure that you really want to get into the complexity of setting up Hyper-V on your new laptop as he's recommending.

    Your mails are all still there.
    I don't mean to cause offense, but I don't think that you have the technical confidence to convert them to make them readable on the new laptop, as outlook express is not part of Windows 7 or 8.

    Well, read the post marked Answer on

    to judge for yourself.

    You haven't said whether you've attempted to check the memory which is a way simpler operation.
    I still think that checking the memory on the old machine, or bringing it to a shop to check it for you would be the most convenient test.

    I do have the technical confidence no problem at all, I just want the simplest most straight forward way.

    Getting emails from Outlook Express to Windows 8 is the most important thing to me.

    I have checked the memory as you suggested, took the RAM out from the back carefully and gave them a "blow", there is no sign of oxidation and they looked fine, did what you said re take one out at a time but the problem persisted.

    Believe it or not it then came back after a few tries of rebooting and I'm still working away on this even though the visuals are different to what I was used to (screen res has changed after its last breakdown).

    The laptop is working away and then all of a sudden it cracks up and the screen dissapears.

    Here is a link to pics that I took of the problems - could it be video card? -

    I very much appreciate all the help you and others have given me here thus far, thanks
