|WIN ME| ok here it is. im not sure if its my newly integrated RAM that i just installed or if my hard drive is getting a little bit old. my computer keeps freezing and restarting. im thinking its both the RAM and hard drive but mostly the RAM because it didnt restart on its own ever and its never frozen so much on 2 hours (like 5 times!!). any input is appreciated. thanks
