Stability Issues?

I tried sticking the RAM in the other slot, but since windows was so corrupted it wouldnt start. Ill have to try that later. And I know RAM shouldn't have any errors, but I think one error isnt going to hurt much. I don't think its worth the trouble, the $10 shipping and the 2 week wait.

Stability Issues?

Recently I've been having a lot of stability issues. The computer would restart for no reason and have lots random crashes for no reason. I thought that this was due to my poor power supply (Allied 400w) and replaced it with a Seasonic 380w and im still having issues with crashing and restarts...

Ive been looking into getting a new laptop, and this one caught my eye. http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=34-115-139&depa=0 The only issue I see with it is that it only has a 4 cell lith-ion battery, which seems small to me. Ive looked around at getting a larger sized battery that was...

2800 barton issues

Yeah, i have heard of people OCing a 2800+ to 12.5x200 at 1.75v, so 1.85 sounds high to me. I dont know what the problem is. If i try to go above 182fsb, windows has an error while starting and the system restarts. The 4 pin connector is in the motherboard. The only reason i think that the PSU...
