hey guys. my computer has been a nightmare for a while now. basically on startup it would randomly reset or give me a bluescreen. then when i finally got it going it would reset itself at some point as well. even in safe mode it reboots while starting up
i thought maybe windows was just jacked (running 2kpro) so i refomrated my partition and reinstalled it.. the process seemed to go fine but when i took the cd out and let it reboot it gave me the familiar bluescreen >_<x im really not sure what the problem is my guess is memory or something because if it was windows the reinstall should have fixed it right?
im using a p 4 2.8ghz, with a gig of kingston 3200 ram. im hoping its not the ram because it was like 300 bucks when i bought it a year ago, but i dont know what else to try
heres the message i get. does anyone know if its the ram or a way to test the ram? if not what else could it be?
Wait. the new msg is different than the old one.. this is the old message:
