Normally I would agree this was a cheap RAM problem but you swapped i
and there was no difference. You should run SANDRA to find out wha
exactly your memory is doing
your PSU looks beefy enough, but just to be sure please can you look a
the label on your power supply for the 12V current rating. there ar
probably 2 12V lines so you may have to add together. 8800GTS recommend
26Amps at 12
we haven't mentioned overheating - i assume you've monitore
temperatures - next time it crashes quickly look at pc health in th
BIOS - you have some hot part
and it would be nice to see the stop code you get on the BSOD if ther
is one
i doubt motherboard is the problem but it is possible
good luc
