Win 7 missing RAM slow HDD and random crashes
Hi, I have three issues with win 7 that I have been researching here on your forums. Tried alot of fix but still some problems.
I have 6gb (3x2gb) RAM installed. it only shows 4gb and it also show ram speed at 1066mhz, aswell as dualchannel and not tripplechannel (I did run some mem check in the bios options)while the box + the label on the ram says 1600mhz and it was delivered 3x2gb so I presumed it was tripple...
I have random freezes aswell, everything locks up and have to reboot. One very odd thing I notice here was that if I dont do anything it is locked forever but if I move the mouse alot for about 5 seconds it reboots without me pusing the button...
The freeze can happen at anytime but mostly when I start fallout 3 and start to mess around alot.
My cpu temp is almost steady at 41 degrees so I dont think it is cooling.
And the last not really important issue is my HDD... I bought a new sata 2.0 disc and was just thinking it would do better than 5.9 in the test. (my old sata 1 did 5.4)
So anything I can do about this? need to raid for higher or is 5.9 ok or whatever just wonder if you have any thoughts about this.
Alot of text here Im sorry about this but I thought it would be better to have all in one thread.
Thanks alot, Tommy.
