    about to throw comp out window...

    ok its been about a week, but i cant really deal with it anymore... for the first 3 to 4 weeks i had my computer, it worked beautifully and it was a dream. then out of nowhere i started getting this freezing problem that only happens when i exit certain problems and when i come back from the screensaver.

    since then ive tried reformatting my harddrive, opening the case and swapping out the sticks of ram. i found that when i have the case open and a certain stick of ram in, that it freezes much less frequentley if at all, then the other stick with the cover off. which leaves me at the trouble of is it overheating or a bad stick of RAM

    none of the components are overheating at all, and i dont know what to do from here. ive been trying to find out the problem for a week now, but i dont know. i get my new card tomorrow, the x1900xt from my current 6200le, so if its possibly a defective card it might get fixed hopefully?? while putting it in, ill remanage my wires and another format for the hell of it

    any help at all would be greatly appreciated

    EDIT: is windows like their office products and has a limit to the number of activations?

    Windows is limited by number activations, changes to your hardware and other things.

    MUff it too many times, Microsoft will simply void the windows serial forcing you to get a new copy.

    I try to limit my windows operations to once every 6 months and hardware changes to one time per year.

        Yes, my guess is just bad cheap RAM. Oh, and turn off your screensaver, they're a waste of time. Unless of course your monitor is 15 years old.

              sorry about that i hate it when people automaticly assume things...

              no i didnt oc it at all, just the 667mhz and 4-4-4-12 rated timings, no problem though, because according to them, i can send it to them and they tests it and give me an identical replacement if its broken.
