For my memory I have one stick of Corsair Vengeance memory (4GB) and one stick that came from the original manufacturer of the computer (F3-10600CL9S-4GBNT DDR3 RAM). My problem started when I first couldn't turn on my computer but shortly found out I had the wrong cable selection to power up my card. When I turned on my computer I removed one stick of memory just in case that was the issue. After I installed the Drivers and played two games I turned off my computer and turned it back on shortly after. On my computer I have two operating systems Ubuntu and Windows 8.1. Ubuntu runs nice and smooth but Windows 8.1 runs very very slow like un-usable slow. When I would try to launch a game it would load up the game then my computer would straight off on me. I used to use a GTX 760 but it burnt out on me and I used my AMD 6670 for a short while before I got a new card. Can some one please help me? My birthday is tomorrow and I am just very stressed and frustrated. Thank you.
Edit 1 : My computer would crash whenever I try to play any game with extra settings on it and my disk stays at use level %100 at the task manager when nothing is going on at all. Any idea what the issue could be? Thank you guys seriously :)
