Unplug the system, remove the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec.  Remove and reinstall the memory module(s).  Re-test.  If the test still hangs, try one module at a time in each socket until the hang ceases.  If one module hangs the test in either socket, it's bad and will need to be replaced.  If both modules hang in one socket, the socket is bad and the mainboard will need to be replaced.  
Hello all, I have a Vostro 1720 that runs Win 10, but lately it has been running very slow. I had the HDD replaced by a SSD, the RAM maxed at 4 GB (previously 3gb) and a fresh install of Win 10. Since this was done, by an IT engineer, the laptop keeps switching off and back to the home screen. It doesn't seem to matter what the laptop is doing. This never happened before, even though it was slow at times. I used HD sentinel, no problems with the SSD and memchecj to check the RAM, again nothing reported. I have ruled out the power supply (ie the external cable one). Any suggestions please?
