[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1582318, member: 56379"] The #1 reason for these freezes is bad or incorrect ram. Just moving the ram around isn't enough. All of the ram needs to be removed...and then tested (stick by stick). Depending on the exact computer model...ram may be ok installed as single sticks...or ram may need to be installed as pairs. It's also possible all of the installed ram is bad or incompatible...depending on what the previous owner did. Once we know that the computer has "good" ram in it. Then we can see if it is stable. If not...then we move onto other things. - Nick [/QUOTE]
