Hello, lately.. my computer has problems where it shuts off when Rendering a video in Sony Vegas, or any other program, or editing with After Effects.
I think it is a RAM problem. But I'm not sure. I have a new cooler, it gets around 60 degrees when rendering. Also when playing games it does this, nothing weird happens. I've added 2-1 gig RAM, I now have 6gigs of ram. It happens less now. I think it's the problem of my 4 gig ram. But I don't have any money to buy a new 4 gig ram because I'm only 14 years old.

This is my rig: (self built)
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme4
CPU: AMD FX-8350
GPU: AMD RADEON HD 7850
RAM: Kingston 1g x2
Kingston 4g
SSD: Samsung SSD 840 Series ATA Device
HDD: Samsung HD502IJ ATA Device
WDC WD5000AAKS-00UU3A0
OS: Windows 8

Also, one time I got this error:
page_fault_in_nonpaged_area ALSysIO64.sys
with a blue screen.

PC be overheating
Make sure the internal fan is working to cool the processor ....mine stopped working once and caused P.C to overheat and constantly shut down.

Sounds like overheating, but 60deg shouldn't cause problems...
D'load and run Speccy, http://download.cnet.com/Speccy/3000-2094_4-75181811.ht...
Run the Windows Evaluation to stress your system temporarily whilst observing temps.
Start Screen, type Performance and choose Performance and Information Tools in Settings Click on 'Re run the assessment'
Or try GPUZ, it graphs your GPU.

Also check your RAM

I ran the stress test and the maximum tempature I got was 65 degrees. Is that overheating? The counter turned red at 60 degrees.

There is no guarantee mixing memory kits will work together. When mixing memory kits there may be compatibility issues such as unable to boot or unable to operate at rated specifications.

I mixed 2 memory kits together to AVOID the crashing, it helped, but not as much.
