Hello tech-people!
So, here's my issue. A few weeks ago, i decided to reinstall windows because my computer was getting a little slow and clunky. At this point, my computer has been running crash-free for almost 2 years with 8GB memory. So after formatting and all that, i load up WoW and BAM, computer freezes. After this happening several times, i take out 1 module at a time (i have 4x2GB DD2 - transcend). It only seams stable when i have 1 2GB stick in. Ive been trolling forums and google for a long time, and havent found a concrete solution. So here I am, at the mercy of you people to help me out!
Here's a list of what ive done:
- Updated all drivers - Not bios, because everytime i flash it, i mess up my CMOS and have to buy a new mobo
- Increased the voltage to my RAM
- Ran 3x successful memtest86 on all ram
- Rotated 2GB memory through all 4 ram slots - no crashes
My computer specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Mobo: ASUS p5k SE/EPU
Processor: Intel core 2 duo E8400 - 3ghz
Memory: 4x2GB Transcend DDR2 800
Graphics card: GeForce 9600GT
PSU: Antec 550W
PS: The freezing isnt a blue screen or random reboot. Everything just locks up and I dont even get any response from my mouse.
