VideoGamesSuck.com :: View topic - Finally building a new computer
I recently built two new computers and one of them is not exactly working. I was hoping you could help me diagnose it.
This sort of problems is often a faulty memory module, but you more or less ruled that out already. It is good you have 2 PC's, this allows you to swap stuff until you can pinpoint the part that causes the crashes.
Good idea, I'll try swapping parts around

I your brain is faulty, this is a serious problem
II your ram is faulty, run memtest from bios, this is actually solvable
I'll look to see if the bios has a "memtest"

It was the RAM. I missed it the first time because both RAM sticks were defective and the other computer was being used so I couldn't swap anything out
