    You have removed Norton.

    Two things concern me in this last post, haven't checked it all yet but you seem to crash on playing steam stuff: TheBaconing.exe
    Is this correct?

    Also, please, as a test, disconnect / de-install whatever you are doing with the xbox connection? usb21 Xbox 360 Wireless

    post back any results...

    Yeah but the game crashing was more my fault. I guess it doesnt handle alt tabbing a ridiculous amount of times well. As for the xbox thing. Its a logitech controller. Are you saying to not have the controller hooked up when the PC is booting up? Also im not exactly sure how to uninstall it since its just a controller.

    Thanks for all the help so far. I really appreciate it. I crashed twice in like 30 minutes today. Right when i booted up, and second when i was playing a game. I will post data to this post. As for narrowing it down to when I crash. its never longer than like 30 minutes after start up when it happens. It also doesnt really matter what I am doing. Idle - gaming for instance. It will most likely crash at least once a day. Again I cant thank you enough for taking time out of your day to assist me. Much appreciated.

    I should have seen this before.... there is something wrong with your memory install (I think). You have a 64b machine and it should be able to use the full 6GB. However your report says otherwise:

    Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 6.00 GB
    Total Physical Memory 3.99 GB
    Something is wrong there. In a 64GB system I'd expect the numbers to be equal. In a x86 system it is different as the RAM GB is limited.

    So, one of your sticks is not being recognized by W7 though it is installed.

    Are you comfortable with taking out the sticks one by one and testing? If not, go to a shop and have the RAM sticks tested and/or your BIOS settings...
    If you are, post back and we'll help you through the following process:

    1. Powerdown, take off external power completely
    2. Open system case, touch metal to avoid static electricity discharge
    3. take out the stick furthest from the cpu first (just the one)
    4. Boot
    5. Start | enter msinfo32 in search field | choose it
    6. report back with a post of the snip of the primary page (system summary) of msinfo32
