Hi Lang!
I fixed my PC! At first I thought it may have been the hard drive, I bought
a new one and still had problems. After that I thought may be the RAM. I
knew kingston has lifetime warranty so I submitted the request online and
they had me ship my old RAM to be servince or checked out and they sent me
new RAM for the mean time.
I loaded the new RAM in, and reinstalled Vista and all of the components by
one. And I am good to go.
I just added the extra hard drive and now I have 1TB, which is good since I
record lots of HDTV shows and that takes up hella space.
Thanks for your help!
