Ok I recently bought a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813188019 newegg. <----------MOBO
went to circuitcity, got a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130298 for 120$. <-----------Video Card
got the RAM from newegg, for 100$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820148144 <------------RAM
Power supply i also got at newegg for about 60$ great price for it too http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817182009 :thup: <------------Power Supply


OK the story, i was installing the crysis demo on my computer running vista 32-bit ultimate. the CPU is a 3.0Ghz cant remember it all I'm @ work right now so yeah.. It installed DX10 which was not a problem to my video card . I played it for about like 20 min. and i was like YEAH this is gonna be great. Got back on World of warcraft (big wow freak) started to get video error, it said the driver failed to respond, then it responded NO ERROR CODE. and i downloaded the newest drivers right then and there, was fine for another 20 min, then about 10 times it did it again. uninstalled drivers and reinstalled, same thing. looked for newer EVEN BETA drivers, same thing. restarted comp. got a long beep. comp wouldn't start up. so i shut off the comp. turned it on again. booted to the bios. i went into the bios and changed it for the mobo to fluctuate how much voltage everything gets. BAD IDEA:bang head
Restarted comp. got to windows screen and froze! i was like :drool: are you serious? then turned off comp. and turned back on. BUG LED showed up saying that the RAM was not in place.:mad: I didn't even do anything to the RAM! thinking back atm then I shouldn't have done that in the bios. I fried the RAM cause i tried my other stick and worked fine. Sent RAM back to newegg saying it quit working, they refunded me.


Now the question is WHAT RAM do i need to get?? AND how the heck do i get rid of that freakin video error?!
Was thinking about this plan, get new hard drive and reinstall vista start from scratch or just debug the problem with you all?
also is this RAM good? I'm looking around the 100$ range, if something is better please let me know! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227231

PLEASE help! much appriciated :)
