windows 7 home premium 64 and 32bit crashing randomly
hey all, i really don't know what is going on, i've been running windows 7 32bit no problem for over a year, then randomly it starts to freeze, so i changed my windows theme to classic windows, it ran perfect for about 4 days, then it started throwing up errors for one of my flight sims and refused to run it, so tried to do restores and kept failing, so i gave up and thought "sod it i will back it up and start fresh"
put windows 7 64bit on, ran fine, started doing some windows updates and it started freezing again (i've only installed drivers and updates so far, no a/v, no firewall as it's just music and films on this pc)
i read it might be the ram/memory and the timings, but timings ain't too far out from each other, all four are ddr2 pc2-6400 800mhz.
so when i shut down to check what ram i had, it had 16 updates to do, and it froze on number 3 so pulled the plug (kernel power error 41), rebooted and froze on the log on screen, i've gone onto the event viewer and created a file with the errors on it (tell me how to post the errors to read as 109 errors in viewer)
so yeah, i really don't know what else i can do, it freezes at anytime, during a film, during games, doing nothing, sometimes logging on, once shutting down and a few times during updates.
