LL update error

[pkmaarsen]

Hi guys. After waking up, I see you have given me some homework. Iĺl try to do this stepwise. So first, I have to admit that I upgraded from 3.2 to 3.8 LL. I had problems with running LL 3.2 on this PC (which had been running Linux Mint 14 without any problem). So I tried to reinstall and why not the most recent version?
Now I did the memory test with appended result.

Yes, it is a very old PC. My motto is: if I can keep it running, I will. If not, I will buy another one. I had been running LL 3.8 on a HP 7800 desktop (from 2009) without any problem. I gave it to my daughter as a replacement for the present one (with LM 14). I could have thrown it away (which I should have done?).
I am going to work out the other suggestions. You will certainly hear from me.
