Really I don't know. I just installed a new main board in my laptop. everything is identical to the old one, the only difference being a higher quality GPU chipset(old one one was AMD radeon HD 6370m, new board has 6550m)

There was 2 crashes today, using bluescreenview program I have drivers watchdog.sys and ntoskrnl.exe as causes for the BSOD if that's any help. Thanks

These sound like pretty generic errors. Presumably you updated all the mainboard drivers (chipset, graphics adapter etc) when you installed the new mainboard. Run Checkdisk with the repair option, to make sure Windows is in order. Then look in device manager for any driver warnings. Are you using Catalyst?
Why is only half your RAM useable?

I ran a Checkisk twice and both times the computer turned off by itself. The first around 10% in and the second even before that.

No driver warnings in device manager. Perhaps it's a voltage regulation problem?

And from what I can see all my ram is usable...

Bump. And has also had this issue at least once a day where I will be playing music and the song will start to skip and sound really glitchy and then my wireless card cuts out and says no connections available and is completely unable to detect local wireless networks until I restart the computer...
