I just finished crysis, during which i had a couple blue screens and program not responding crashes. I left my computer on and went downstairs to watch top gear.
When i got back my computer was off and when i went to turn it on nothing came up on the screen. So i looked at my graphics card to make sure the fan was running and it was. So i turned it off, took out the second stick of ram and turned it on and still nothing. Turned it off took out the first stick of ram and replaced it with the second and it booted.
So just to make double sure it was the ram that's the problem i put the supposedly bad stick of ram back in on it's own and it booted. I now have both sticks of ram in and the computer is on that is why i'm writing this message. Do i have faulty ram or is it something else? And how can i be sure of what it is?
Vista reports that there is indeed 2gb of ram installed, my temps are;
motherboard roughly 50c
cpu can be as low as 24c and go up to 58c
graphics card can be as low as 49c and go up to 75c
case ranges from 26c to 32c
This may be useful to know as well that wen i first put together this pc i got nothing, took it to scan and it turned out one of the motherboard cpu pins was bent, the guy straightened it, put the cpu back on and it worked. that was a few months back. I don't know if that may have something to do with it.
