Yeah, I even bought a new HD because this 6 month old one has bad sectors according to the western digital lifeguard diagnostic. I installed windows 7 on that new HD and I got another random crash while downloading the windows updates after the install.
I've got spare money so I decided to upgrade my whole system. My PSU brand is pretty junky and I'm pretty sure this is a motherboard issue. So I'm getting a new GPU, CPU, mobo, RAM (for new Mobo), and new PSU. Thanks for the help along the way anyway, guys. lol
I'll have to be returning this new DDR2 RAM however. Good thing Frys just lets me return within 15 days.
