hey guys, i've tried almost everything. I have this issue which i think is a memory leak (after using memory intense programs, computer won't open any more windows eg my computer, internet explorer, internet explorer tabs, media player, programs, anything). I've had the issue basically ever since i bought the comp (about 10 months ago). I've changed the psu cuz i originally thought it was power related, changed the memory as well to a completely different brand (corsair to geil) as i thought the actual memory sticks were the issue (heard the memory sticks i had wouldn't work well with asus p5b). I've put the memory sticks to the recommended voltage 2.1 and have even tried using at auto, the problem remains. I even reformatted windows xp and installed windows vista 32 bit. I still have the same problem!
My question is, could the problem stem from my motherboard or harddrive or any other part of my machine? Or do you guys just think its one of the programs i'm running? ATM the only programs that are the same as before the reformat are k-lite, media player, avast!, spywareblaster, microsoft office 2007 and adaware. The rest of the programs are just games or random programs.
I'm running:
e6600
Asus p5b deluxe wifi
bfg 7900gs
seagate 350gb hd 7200.10 sata(or whatever it was the one with perpendicular ****)
geil 2gb ddr2 800mhz 4-4-4-12
thermaltake toughpower 750w
soundblaster x-fi xtreme music
dvico hdtv tuner lite
sata asus dvd burner
Thanks in advance guys.
