Motherboard and Ram Question

[Laxarai]

My Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-M55plusS3G. Over the last year, I've noticed that my Memory only lasts a few months. I get booted out of the programs I'm using and have great difficulty installing programs. When I replace the RAM, it works alright, for a few months

Could there be a problem with my motherboard? I've had it for nearly 2 years

I mainly use my PC for gaming

What is the rest of your computer specifications? It could be also related to software problems, so it is always better to reformat and reinstall the OS at a specific period of time for its smooth running.

RAM is never slow. Their capacity made your PC slow if it's not enough. Here is how it is :
Suppose you have 1GB RAM (you have not mentioned), your OS is Windows, there are firewall, antivirus and other background services running totalled of 200-300MB RAM utilization. Your free RAM is +/- 700MB. Now you run the games, this games will eat around 600MB. This is not an exact calculation. Your firewall, antivirus and other services will fluctuate eating your RAM scanning games files. Your OS will start working to swap those what they have in the RAM into your HDD to free up some place. RAM works fast while HDD are not. This is where the slow things happen and makes games jitter/low fps/slow loading.

Not only RAM, GPU can affect your games too, well if your games has a minimum recommendation of 7600GT and you set the games on high graphics/high resolution, you'll see the same jitter/low fps games.
