    extremely low performance after power supply blew

    im pretty sure it's not thermal throttling because my cpu temp idles at 47 C and NEVER goes over 61 C i guess the arctic silver has something to do with that...anyway...i will try both sticks separately with memtest...im just wondering WHY the comp shuts off like that...it came as a shock to me...

    extremely low performance after power supply blew

    yes but the power supply was defective...also yes it was $13 but the new one after it did not blow and is still functional right now...the first power supply in itself was defective...which caused other parts to become damaged...

    extremely low performance after power supply blew

    and another thing...i ran memtest86 and it shuts my computer off every time...i tried 3 times...it finishes one percentage cycle and then shuts off the system at about 91% on the next...so yea...im sure getting new RAM wont fix the problem either...
