I have a laptop that has been locking up a great deal lately.
It usually only locks up when playing games like World of Warcraft, but not when the laptop is idle. Sometimes it doesnt freeze for a whole day. It seems very random.
I wanted to see if I could run a memory test to see if the ram is possibly bad.
I ran it with both sticks in. (2, 2 gig sticks) It crashes.
I ran it with just 1, it crashes. I tried it with the opposite stick, still crashes in mid test.
By crashes, I mean the computer shuts itself off in the middle of the testing.
The laptop is plugged in, and the battery charging light is on.
Why is that?
