    Can someone help verify if i am having a RAM or gfx card problem?

    I'd guess video card too, I had the same msi 8800gts card that developed crash issues and was able to rma for full refund. I replaced it with a new video card, and the pc has been fine since. also you previously oven baked your card as well. I thought oven baking generally is a temporary fix...

    Prevent blank page after PHP input?

    well you can have that code redirect to another page afterward. or include the code in another webpage if it recieved any arguments then itll store the information. so you have the form submit to that webpage instead of the blank.
