Hopefully this is the right forums to post in, I been having many issues with my PC as of late.
It started out with being unable to get into Windows at all, I would just get a black screen error stating "An unexpected I/O error has occurred".
I was thinking this was a possible hard drive issue, and since I already had a new SSD and Video card on order decided to just go ahead and do a fresh Win7 Install.
Soo I get that done, everything seems to be going smooth for a day or two.
Now I'm randomly blue screening.
The pattern goes like this:
1. Computer boots ok
2. Start browsing the web or playing a game for about 20 mins or so then crash
3. BSoD flashes for a quick second then computer reboots on it's own.
4. Windows gives option to either Launch start up repair or start normally.
5. Either option gives this BSoD and stays until I reboot.
6. After the 2nd reboot it will either
a. Bring me back to the start up repair screen, I select start normally and windows boots.
b. The computer fans and LED's will turn on for a few seconds, monitor stays off, then everything turns back off, then back on, then off etc. If this happens the only way I was able to break the cycle was to reset the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery.
I have also tested my system RAM thinking that may have been a problem but Memtest comes back clean.
Any help would be appreciated

I removed 2 sticks of RAM last night and haven't crashed since. Hopefully I've narrowed down the problem.
