[office politics]

can you describe the problem? What are you trying to do? What happens?

 

[Booyah]

it just randomly crashes. it seems to crash most if left idle, but sometimes during games such as map changes etc. i suspect memory but ive tried 3 seperate sticks with same results. maybe motherboard? for some reason i cannot run multiple sticks of ram. wont boot if more than one stick.

 

[office politics]

sounds like faulty hardware. id prolly try swapping out the mobo

 

[Booyah]

thats what im afraid of however, this is the 2nd identical motherboard in 2 mos. problem went away for awhile then i put a new hd in and suddenly it wont take 2nd stick of ram. ram is of diff make/model. if i buy a new mb and install rest of hardware and i get same problem im gonna scream. not to mention the fact that i have another pc on same network that does exact same thing except it will take multiple sticks. unsure if its software or hardware or combination of the 2. i have 4 pc lan and 2 of the 4 work ok with no problems. imma try runnin win 98 for awhile and see if it runs ok on that, then ill move up to ME, then XP home, then XP Pro. i dont want to dump more money into this and i doubt my retailer will refund a mobo that has been used for 2 mos.
