Hey all,
I'm having some trouble on my fairly new build, and I'm wondering if you can perhaps shed some light on what to check. This has happened when doing a variety of things. Sometimes just reading reddit in chrome, others I'm watching a movie in VLC, or in some cases playing a game. Usually the application I'm using will lock up. While I try to kill the task in task manager, it usually ends up in me restarting the computer. I'm wondering if it's potentially the SSD i have, or perhaps the ram?
Any suggestions on testing this out? I have a few 1gb sticks of ddr2 in my old computer i can swap out, but that's about it in terms of spare parts.
Thanks.
