    Random crashing

    After i changed the ram i found that it hasnt crashed. Although the symptoms pointed to other areas of the computer, i only found out it was the ram after swapping components with a system i knew worked. After that point everything has done what it has supposed to. I wouldnt like to say that it...

    Random crashing

    I had to resort to swapping out trusted components with a friend. It looks like it was the ram that was causing problems. I have installed unreal tournament on the system. I first tried swapping the graphics card. Mine worked fine in his. Next we tried the ram. I took out mine(512 ddr 33mhz) and...

    Random crashing

    I have just been watching a film and it crashed, i was watching it off the hard drive and it was fine for about an hour. It just blue screened and i had to reset it.

    Random crashing

    Just been having a think about things. The system will crash if i leave it on overnight and i am assuming it is when the fish screensaver comes up. If i play a game(medal of honour) directly from the hard drive it crashes near enough straight away. The same applies with grand theft auto...

    CPU possibly fried

    When i cleaned the base of my heatsink recently i scraped of the old paste with a stanly blade, then gave it a clean. If when you are applying new paste dont use to much, too much will act in reverse and insulate rather that conduct. One thing i did find useful was buying little squares of...

    When it does crash i get a blue screen saying that there has been a serious problem, or it just completely goes and restarts. CPU temp has never really gone aboove 44 even when i give it a thrashing. I will try the download first, and let you know.
