So where shall I start?
I bought my custom computer from Cyper Power PC (big mistake apparently).
I have built my own before but thought id try on online custom computer company, this will be the last time i do that. Not that they are all bad but its been a very frustrating experience.
Specs:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 CPU @ 3.0GHz 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache 64-bit
4G (4x1G) Dual Chan Memory
600 Watts Power Supply
Biostar TP45 HP Intel P45 MOBO
ATI Radeon HD 4850 PCI-E 16X 512MB Video Card
500GB HD
Thats what I ordered a year ago now.
The Story:
After receiving my self bought Christmas present last year (which was this) i boot this puppy up and it worked fine for about 2 weeks until i got speed problems, blue screens, didnt even post during bootup. So i call Tech Support and blah blah blah i send it back to them. They "fix" it and send it back to me a month later, i look on the receipt and low and behold they replace the 4 sticks of RAM =/.
Im a pretty computer savvy guy and i know a lot of basic stuff and it surprises me that even though i wanted them to replace the MOBO they do the easy fix.
One of my friends and I discussed it and he had the same problem with his computer in that it would do a lot of weird stuff (some that i listed), slow on some programs, fast for about an hour, blue screens, really weird stuff and i believed it to be the Motherboard RAM "SLOTS".
So I went to New Egg bought myself another Biostar TPower series MOBO thats compatible of course (I really like the tpower series and it has very good reviews so i believe i did well in that area).
Note: the reason its been a year is that i just didnt have the extra money for this and used my other PC for the time being.
I get my MOBO and i install it just last week and worked exceptional for any game or application i was running.
Get home from college this week and as im playing some Left 4 Dead, SUPRISE blue screen after some minor 10-15 second freezes during game play.
So my friends i have really no idea what i should do, I have already tested each RAM stick individually in each slot. i know i made a bad decision in the beginning but i learned from that. The only options that i could come up with is that it might be the Power Supply or the CPU, though i really dont know.
Thanks in advance for any feedback thank you.
