Hi everyone,
I've posted this on some other forums (including OCN) but haven't been able to get much help on this issue.. Hopefully overclockers can help!!
I built this budget rig for my gf a month ago (primarily for SC2):
Gigabyte 970A-D3
Mushkin Silverline 4gb ddr3 1333
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black edition
Arctic Freezer Pro 7 heatsink
XFX GT240 512MB
400W PSU (stock PSU that came with some case)
Win7 Ultimate
Everything is running at stock settings.
I'm having ALOT of problems with this build.. where to start:
1) After 3-4 games of SC2, she gets a low page pool memory warning and the screen starts to get all fuzzy, kind of like TV static.
2) In most games, right after the loading screen her monitor goes all dark and then she finally gets into the game about 5 seconds behind everyone else. It's not internet lag otherwise the game would have automatically paused itself. -> this happens consistently regardless of what settings she plays the game on.
3) Her computer freezes often. It won't let you cntrl+alt+del, sometimes all you see is a black screen and the cursor, which is unable to move.
Some things that I have tried:
- all 4GB of ram is accounted for
- virtual memory has been increased to 1.5x RAM amount
Problem still persists. Here's a screenshot she took of the performance tab as the guys over at OCN requested:

Only 32MB free.
Any help guys?
EDIT - i should add that the rig runs perfectly as long as she isn't gaming
