Bad ram Bad psu... but it just one day started happening... so whats the problem? Please help. other forum have yeilded no soloutions
Have you tried swithcing ram or psu? I had the prob in the past and a new PSU sorted it. New one was nothing special, the old one had just given up on me. Hope it helps and hope you get sorted.
ok have you have you been online before this started happening.. I had the same thing happend to me, and i though it wasnt a virus when infact it was. I rebooted mt system and it was still there even after reinstalling everything. But virus dont just go away is there any programs u didnt delete before reinstalling your windows? If its not a virus unplug your computer. and open the sucker up. make sure the fan works and that all the right wires are plugged in if you dont know wut your doing stay away from opening it!.. if you have any more question id be sure to help you. <no emails please>
