About 60% of the time I am experiencing a number of power up/boot problems. These include continuous beeps (memory indication). Reboots before loading windows while beeping or processing post messages. Freezing during splash screen or during login profile load. Once the PC is running it will stay running for the duration of being powered up. These will sometimes disappear for several weeks at a time.

I have tried running the extended memory test and it freezes. The only message I have been able to get is "Hardware problems were detected. To identify and repair these problems, you need to contact the computer manufacturer."

Since I am the manufacturer can anyone help me identify what hardware problem is being detected?
 
"I have tried running the extended memory test and it freezes"...

Your memory is the hardware being detected... Replace it first, their may be other issues
 
While trying to test individual memory sticks the problem went away by just reseating the memory. There have been no problems for three weeks.
