i have 2X pqi POWER Series 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) with a Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 mobo. i bought them both around 5 months ago from newegg.com (when the ram was twice as expensive!) now they are dirt cheap ($34 each). when i first built my pc, i had some very rare problems such as the pc rebooting randomly. then came a distinct problem... playing h.l.2, my pc would always rebootafter about 30seconds of play. (first flashing the blue screen of death of course) i asked a friend about it, and he told me to run a mem test...the test gave a few errors in random sectors each time it was tested so i uped the voltage by .2V and the problem seemed to be fixed, so i assumed that i just bought crappy ram.
now, as of two days ago, playing bf2, my pc would wither reboot or freeze quickly after entering the game. i had a strong feeling that it was my ram again, so i took one stick out and tried the game...it worked fine. then i tried the other stick, and it also worked fine. i dont know what to do? that tells me that it is a problem with my mobo.
