I just built a new system:
eVga A1 680i
e6300 Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz
320MB 8800GTS
2x512MB Patriot Dual Channel DDR800 with heat spreaders
My problem is even with nothing running at all with about 19 processes, only 60-70% of the RAM is available. With Firefox and MSN (sometimes on call) open it's usually between 60% and 70%...I'm confused, and as some reviews on the site I bought it from (newegg) I may have to change the voltage and/or timings. I'm wondering why in the world it would do that though, I know it's compatible with the motherboard, I can play Dark Messiah on all the highest settings just fine, but when I'm on the loading screens it either crashes when it's 75% loaded or BSODs out. I don't have great cooling so I'm thinking the graphics card could be overheating...but it was off all night and when I played it in the morning it crashed the game (instead of BSOD after hours of gaming)
I ran memtest86+ for a while everything's fine there, otherwise. Thank you, I appreciate any help!
