  • Do you mean you switched RAM slots? You put the RAM chip from slot1 is now in slot2 and vice versa and now your computer works?

  • do you get a BSOD (sad face)? Also look into the Eventlog for Kernel 41 entries and follow this KB: support.microsoft.com/kb/2028504

  • no i don't get bsod even though i did get those on another computer after installing ashampoo hdd control but that's another story. the comp just turns off instantly and i'm not currently over there to see the event viewer.

  • it turns out the was a kernel 41 error in the critical event log. i bought the propaganda that it is a power supply problem and spent 50$ for a new power supply. However, the problem persisted so i started to think maybe it's a windows problem but the system shutdown even when i was in bois. For some reason i decided to touch the cooler and it was so hot that i almost burnt my hand off..
