No, everthing is unmarked and as new. The only changes made to the original spec is to install a GT220 GPU (installed 11 months ago when I first got the pc) and a Xigmatek S963 heatsink.

If the mainboard is the problem, how come the fault moves across Dimm slots when I swap the RAM sticks over? I could understand that if the fault was just on one slot, but one stick on both kits is now totally dead, having died in different slots.

I have swapped the sticks over on the board and the fault moves from Dimm to Dimm. No other electrical issues in the house.

No damp issues with the house, on a desk in the lounge.

Different Dimm on each ocassion. The 2Gb stick was in Dimm1, the 4Gb stick Dimm0. I have already contacted Aria about this and have an RMA number from them but it means being without my one and only pc for up to 4 weeks. As it is in constant use by all the family I'm reculant to do that - only...

I bought this pc 11 months ago and all was fine up until 3 weeks ago when I noticed only 2GB of RAM was showing. Belarc Advisor showed Dimm0=2096mb, Dimm1=16mb. I swapped the sticks over on the mobo and Dimm0=16mb, Dimm1=2096mb. The pc POSTs and starts fine with the one good stick installed but...

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy THIS budget system for general purpose use. If I order a second Mushkin Silverline 2GB (2x1GB) DDR3 1333 Dual Channel Kit giving me 4 x 1 Gb will I encounter any problems. The general concensus of opinion (from what I read) is 2x2 is better than 4x1. Any potential...

Good stuff guys. Thanks to you all. the Silverstone it is.

Thanks for that Dude. As I say, probably never happen but at least I'm keeping my options open. So 500w would the Tagan or the Silverstone. These good enough?

Ok guys, question for you. IF (and its a big IF) I was to ever upgrade my MB or build a new system (dream on) would a 500w psu have enough juice to power my GT220 plus a second low-end/low power gpu to give me more monitors? Not a gamer so SLi doesn't matter. My plan is o/c the E4300 hence the...

LOL. yeah seen it before. Raidmax I believe. Actually my local IT mall isn't that great. It's big (4 floors) but mostly junk. Ok if you a new laptop, a novelty mouse or a pack of blank cd's. Anything out of the ordinary and you've really got to hunt for it. Took me two hours to find a shop...

Thanks for all the input guys, much appreciated. I'm sure any of the suggestions would be more than adequate for my needs and its pretty much as I expected - stick to one of the respected names and I won't go far wrong.

This one? or this one? Edit: What about the Scythe Stronger 500w? Can't find any reviews of it but it looks ok on paper. Does anyone know how Scythe psu's stack up against the rest?

Not an option here - just what's on the list.

I spent two hours walking around the four floors of my local IT mall the other day and no-one stocks Corsair. DeLux was the most prevalent. So it's just what's on the list. I'm in Thailand. 1 $AUD = 27.5 THB.
