I know that...but I've been experiencing random restarts for about 6 months now. Started happening when my pc shut off randomly after installing and making my first character on Age of Conan (lol). I've ended up replacing everything but the RAM and CPU and it's still happening... I just wrote a nice long reply and my pc restarted so I'm retyping this.
It's been fine for about 3 months now, and yesterday it started doing it again.
My ram is not listed in my mobo's manual as compatible, but that doesn't really matter most times. It's also 4x1GB which is known to stress a mobo, so I'm looking in to getting 2x2GB, but I'm in China right now and it's very difficult since a) I don't speak the language very well, and b) they usually only have low-end parts since most people don't want to spend lots of money.
So i'm trying to cut down on memory usage while I'm looking for new memory...
