Ok so.. my computer has been gradually collapsing over the last few weeks. It was shutting off without any form of warning during anything "intense" like burning a dvd... as if I had a faulty power supply, something wasn't connected properly, or it was overheating. I checked everything, and all the temps etc. were fine. Everything was mounted properly and it wasn't over heating. I checked my RAM using Memcheck. I ended up running it for 5 minutes and getting close to 400 errors. I read the site which said anything over 20 was bad, so I assumed it was my ram. I went out and purchased two compatible 1GB sticks of PNY Brand PC3200 ram. I came home and installed it. My problems got worse. I scanned them getting 0 errors. I switched back to my old RAM, and I'm actually able to use my computer. With the "New" ram, I am hardly able to even get Windows running, but I get the error:
0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x8A56ABE0, 0x8A56AD54,0x80604418)
PERFORMING PHYSICAL MEMORY DUMP
I'm still having problems, and I don't know what the hell to do. It's very frustrating, and I would appreciate even the most insignificant of help. Thanks.
