Hello, I recently upgraded mine and my wife's computers' motherboards, RAM, and CPU. I got the same setup for both: MSI 770-C45, 2 x 2 GB Patriot 1033mhz, and AMD Phenom II x 4 core 945. My computer is running fine, but since the hardware change, hers has been locking up at random times, usually with repeating sound, and occasionally with a black screen with a couple flickering pixels. It doesn't matter what she is doing, and windows has no log of it. It even locked up when installing windows 7 yesterday during the installation, after she had formatted the drive and gotten rid of XP (so she had to reinstall XP to install the upgrade version of 7).
We have previously ran a memory test and it didn't find any problems (only did a few passes of the more thorough test) but I don't believe it's a RAM issue. We have adequate power supplies that we got not too long ago, and both have the same ones. If anyone has a good idea of which piece of hardware it might be, let me know.
