Computer crashes and freezes

You can take the side off your computer and have a look, don't touch but just look

You can cause damage if you touch components without grounding yourself

Okay, so I ran the test. after 9% into the test, it got stuck and kept running errors. The scrolling part of the screen was red and scrolling errors like crazy.

If you get any errors with memtest then it means your system RAM is faulty. I'd suggest replacing it, as it will be causing multiple issues with your machine

Thank you so much I really appreciate your help, and now I can finally fix my computer haha.

No problem

I ran memtest over night again just to make sure that was the problem, and it had absolutely no errors the entire night. I passed every test, but the freezing and crashing is still happening.

It may pay to try the system with a different PSU, if its not delivering the correct amount needed then this can cause issues.

Does it work fine in safemode?

sorry I didn't get back in a while, no it crashes in safemode. I think what happened is that I had 3 different wow programs running at once, and it overloaded the ram or something but I stayed off wow for a while and it stopped crashing even after I started playing again.

3 different wow programs? as in 3 instances of the game?
