Computer Freezing?

Last response: in Memory
Share

Since about the time I put two new gigs of ram in my computer and about the same time I got Windows 7 my comp when I play games randomly freezes for about 30 seconds and I think it's either the ram or the processor. I've done tests on my processor and was wondering if there is any way I could find out if it's my ram with a test?

More about : computer freezing

I believe the classical test would be Memtest86, chime in anyone if you have a better suggestion :)  Anyway, I would like to hear more about your other components e.g. PSU?

l'll post my dxdiag and someone on my forum told me that my processor doesn't work well with windows 7 is that true? I have a pentium D 2.8ghz. I also got windows 7 about a month after 2 additional gigs of ram and was wondering if anything in my dxdiag could not be working well with windows 7 32 bit.
