I don't have random restarts, not even after 10 hours of working on the comp.
The memory it's in one piece, and it doesn't seems faulty. I don't get blue screens, or random restarts or whatsoever. I'm using WinXP Pro, with Firefox and other memory-needing programs. Sometimes even Photoshop (which is famous about his 'hunger'). Never happens nothing. I even did a test with a software.
By the way, some 'friend' of my girlfriend said that soon will come to take look.
He will also take some RAM modules to try it.
Well, I'm not having high hopes.
Sometimes I'm having problems with my videocard, that's why my first suspect is this. When I'm using in 16 bit color depth, sometimes absolutely randomly, the screen gets scrambled. The icons disappear, the text diassapears from the menus, tabs. The mouse cursor get's erratic and slow. And the refresh it's horrible. Not the screen refresh, the desktop refresh.
If I put back to 24 bit or 32 it recovers (it took me ages, to find the appropriate setting, using just the keyboard, without seeing only the contour of the property window and some minor hints about wher I am :freak: ). Without needing ot restart the comp. So, I'm using 32 bit now.
But this behaviour started some months ago, it took some time until I understood how to overcome this problem, because before I was using always 16 bit (without problems). And since a few months that I'm using 32 bit, I never had any problems.
I'm 99% sure that this MIGHT BE related with my other problem.
