Bitcoin Core makes heavy use of CPU, RAM and disk IO. Hardware defects might only become visible when running Bitcoin Core. You might want to check your hardware for defects.

memtest86 to check your RAM
to check the CPU behaviour under load, use linpack or Prime95
to test your storage device use smartctl or CrystalDiskInfo

The best way is simply to altavista “how to use memtest86” and proceed from there.

When you’ve tested your RAM, CPU and storage device using the tools suggested above you report your results here :)

If you’re unsure about how to use the suggested tools you’ll either have to set aside some time to read up on those tools, or set aside some money to pay someone to do the job for you.

DIY or outsource: I don’t think there is any third option TBH :)

Closing due to lack of progress in testing the hardware for defects
