| 602264 | 2007-10-17 22:55:00 | I think the ram slots on the motherboard are pretty dodgy. The middle one doesnt seem to work at all, so the other ones might be a bit broken as well | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 602265 | 2007-10-17 23:01:00 | doubt it is your cpu mejo, agent was using that as an example....i would say its a driver issue...especially if during a game, or perhaps the ram.... if it locks up with memtest, probably not driver issue something's faulty/loose/dust...? I would expect you've got a socketed CPU, with the HSF on top those aren't likely to fall out :D but the slot ones are good for getting loose |

Not a good idea, from what I've heard vacuum cleaners generate static electricity and we all know that static and computers don't get along. Its amazing that a can of compressed air cost $30 yet you can go down to Mitre10 mega and get a cheap compressor for $100! |
