System:
Windows 7
RAM (2 sticks): Corsair DDR2 XMS2 800MHz 2038MB
MB: Asus M4A785-M
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620
HD: W.D. Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB
PSU: Logisys 550w PS550A_BK

About a week ago, my computer just randomly went black, it randomly restarted itself, it continued to do so every 30 seconds or so. Then it just went dark, it was running but would not come on... just the black screen. I figured the easiest thing to begin testing was my RAM. Lets call the original stick in slot 1, Ram 1 and the original stick in slot 2, RAM 2.

Ram 1 in slot 1 computer ran fine. Ram 2 in slot 1, computer ran fine. So I figured it wasn't a problem with either RAM, but rather with slot 2.

So I put Ram 1 in slot one and Ram 2 in slot 3 and everything worked fine for about a week, then today it randomly shut down again.



So I simply tried putting RAM 2 from slot 3 into slot 4 and I got the option to start windows repair to fix the problem or start normally, since I figured slot 3 was the problem I chose start normally, the computer simply recycled again failing to boot and gave me the option again, so I chose start the repair function.

This message appeared after it ran its course:

"Windows Startup Repair"
"System Recovery Options: RecEnv.exe - Application Error The instruction at 0x751d842 referenced memory at 0x80a70be0. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program.




I figured possibly one of the sticks of RAM was faulty so I tried each stick individually in slot 1, and each time my computer booted normally and seemed to run fine. So I put both RAM back in their original configuration, RAM 1 in slot 1, and RAM 2 and slot 2, and now the computer seems to be running just fine again.


My guess would be RAM 2 is faulty sometimes, but will run by itself, or the motherboard seems to be having some kind of issue where it fails to read both sticks of RAM sometimes. I'm really confused because right now its running in the old configuration just fine.


Any suggestions/ideas? My guess is it will act up again, and I'll switch things up and it'll run fine again, then it will act up again, etc. I would really prefer to root out the problem before anything too catastrophic occurs.


Thanks.

I dropped my psp on hard floor battery popped out. I pop it back in turn it on and black screen green light and cant manually turn it off had to take out batteries.

After 3 tries psp goes to home screen however some problems come up.
-when clicking x does not work sometimes (eg i cant click x on games or settings)
-when clicking around randomly on the home screen a blue screen comes up with many languages saying i have a problem
-when playing patapon 3 saving is frozen sometimes.

the problem is everything seems to work but sometimes when turning on the psp would not go to home page and freeze at black screen at start up and when saving at patapon 3 freezes (sound still runs) i go back home and the going home loading screen freezes.

I run a CFW psp (forgot details but it runs patapon 3).

How bad of a condition is my psp in and what can i do?
