I just built a new computer and have been struggeling with getting it running smoothly.
The computer is a 3.2 ghz with a ECS pt800ce-a motherboard, and two strips of 2 Muskin DDR 512 ram.
I had a hard time getting it up and running but I crossed those hurdles and now I am faced with regular intermitent crashing.
It will just reboot mid-operation, it has frozen when shutting down, sometimes it freezes at this Screen

(link at bottom if broken) Which makes me think that it would be overheating, but everytime I check the cpu temp it is 40degrees C. The CPU fan had a therm paste tape attached to it, and i have never closed the box, and the room temp is about 50degrees Farientheit.
I am wondering if its the ram not playing well with the MOBO?
Or if it is a setting in the MOBO bios to makes it handle this ram better?
Short of buying new ram I am out of ideas to troubleshoot the problem
