I'm taking the RAM to my brother's computer next week. My BIOS is already up to date, though. Also note how I used exactly the same kind of RAM before and it was running fine, until it turned faulty and I RMA'ed.

Well, I can't. I tried to complete MemTest twice and it didn't work. Think I'll just conclude that they sent me bad RAM.

Okay, I'm frustrated and I'm just gonna list what happened chronologically. I started getting Memory_Management BSODs once every week or so. I ran a Memtest86+, and one of my pair of Corsair sticks showed up faulty. Other than this, my PC was running fine. I could play demanding games for...

My first guess would be the Harddrive choking, then the system hangs. Has he run any Harddrive diagnostics yet to see if their SMART values are getting worse? If there's any indication of that, he should backup important data and expect his drive(s) to die.

It most likely does this because of the hardware swap. The BIOS can read it, and even Windows may be able to. But it still tries to load the other dual-core drivers upon boot and that's why it shuts off. Try safe mode, and if that doesn't work either, you might have to reinstall Windows. I...

Have it run a high quality, full screen visualization all day that occupies a secondary monitor so all your friends can go "Oooooh". On a more serious note, to put Windows Server on any kind of server is just asking for trouble. If you're really looking into that, I'd salvage the graphics...

I booted up this morning, POST was fine, Windows 7 booted up with the usual quickness and then bam. Everything turns slow as soon as I reach the desktop. The PC hangs in intervals of 3 seconds, then follows a brief period of normal responsiveness (I hear the PC "working" very shortly with the...

Hi, i have this annoying problem.. playing a game is fine, but often when i leave it, or alt-tab it, the comp boots on me. wtf? i figure it has to do something with the graphics card, a Leadtek A6600 GT TDH. i have an Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester on a Asus A8V Deluxe board. Please help...
