the problem is that when ever i get into a game (gunz,perfect world, even miniclips Robot Rage) my computers just switches of and restarts
I have tried nearly everything (btw i use the integrated gfx,intel(R)G33) like updating driver, resarting in safe mode and installing then. If im lucky ill be be able to play for like 10mins or less with really bad colouring. Patches of purple,green dodgy pixels appear.
Im not sure wha it could be but when i took out one of my arianet 1gb RAM sticks i had no problem.I even swapped them around to see if i had a bad stick, which i didnt.I havnt tried memtest yet(downloaded the usb version, i gather i hav to put it on a usb then boot it by pressing F8?)Could it be cheapo sticks?
Im going try getting a video card but i fear it wont make any difference.
its like it wont work because of dual channel.Any help would be appreciated
