http://www.memtest.org/ download memtest and let it run for a minimum of 7 passes.

Did you install any hardware or software when this started happening?

Do you use a spyware/adware program?

Is your windows login password protected?

Are you using a firewall?

Have you tried booting into safe mode and see if the pc still "Pulses"?

https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic19133.html go there and do what it says and post the log here as a txt file.

Also you stated you have 512MB RAM, is that 1x512 stick or 2x256 sticks?

I await your reply.
