I'll tell ya, once I think i've figured SOMETHING out, i'm right back where I started. Both sticks of RAM ran fine which is somewhat mind boggling to say the least. I just decided to go ahead and place both sticks back in, but not in dual channel this time. Don't know why running it Dual Channel would make it screw up, but hey, I can't think of anything else. I guess i'm also going to go ahead and buy a new video card. Nothing fancy, just something better than the one i'm currently running on (I think a saltine cracker would run games better if I could fit it in the agp slot). I guess i'll be snoopin' around eBay for some good deals now, so once I get something i'll post back.
