I have what I think might be a ram problem, but I'm not sure.
I just built a computer and whenever Windows loads, the computer randomly restarts without a blue screen of death or anything. I was originally using Windows Vista, but thinking it was a software issue reformatted and installed WIndows XP, but to no help. The system has the following specs:
MB: BFG Nforce 680i SLI
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme
GPU: BFG Geforce 8800 GTS x2
RAM: G.Skill DDR2, PC2-8500, 2 2GB sticks
HD: Western Digital WD1600, 160GB x2, not in raid - used in my old system and never had a problem with them.
The system is water cooled with a Koolance built in system and running at low temps. Nothing is overclocked, and have used Ntune to actually lower some volts.
I think its a RAM issue because it seems to reboot faster when I'm attempting to do things, then when it is just sitting there.
I've tried switching the sticks around, as well as only using one at a time, but it does it regardless.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?? Please help
