Hi all i built a pc around 6 months ago but havent been on much due to moving house etc, i am now starting to game and download but when i leave my pc on over night or for a long period of time this comes up

my pc specs are Asrock extreme 4 gen 3 mobo
Intel I5 2500k CPU
HIS ATI Radeon 2GB 6950 HD GPU ICEQX
Corsairs xms3 2 x 4GB
Samsung spinpoint F3 1TB
LG super multi Blue optical drive
Tranquillo cpu cooler
Antec 650w new PSU

windows 7 installed, i had this problem a while ago and never sorted it out as was starting to move etc and now its bugging me, i also never got round to over clocking and with diablo 3 coming out think i will try that but need this sorted first.

any help would be greatly appreciated as i am new to all this
Thanks Dean (off to work now so will reply later tonight thanks all)

Thanks wazza
 
ok thanks a lot for the hep so far, ok so i checked in advanced sleep options and it says turn off hard dis after - 20 mins so i changed to never could this be the cause ? when i download it is on longer than that cause i was coming in and checking,i also changed the sleep setting to never.

In the blue screen view the same one as in the pic is red the one with ntoskrnl.exe what exactly does this mean and should i run some tests ?

also i dont have a clue about the manual or auto ofset on cpu voltages i havnt overclocked and changed any voltages etc ( i am wanting to learn all this as want to over clock after sorted this problem)

Many thanks Dean

ok, so what is best thing to do now ? do i just google and run memtest or do i have to put on disk like u said earlier ? one quick question what is BSOD (blue screen ????)

lol thanks sankly
 
so is it one hundred percent the RAM at fault ? think i will go for 8gb of ram this time.

what a waste of money buying that RAM , wish i solved problem earlier and could have returned RAM,i need RAM that will defo work with my mobo, why is this ram at fault ?

any ideas
thanks Dean
 
ok so should i swap the 2 memory sticks around firstly or just remove 1 for now ?

also i still have reciept for my ram u think i should return ?
 
ok i just removed 1 stick and left the one closest to the cpu in and i will let it run for a while, so if memory will this sort my problem for good hopfully lol

i will leave for a good hour or so running with 1 stick but when it goes red or doesnt should i place pther stick in the slot so swap them over ?

want to sort before 12 as that ram is on offer lol sure it took more than 1 pass to detect last time

not sure if its done 1 pass already as it says pass complete nor errors found ? or does that just mean so far

ok i have ran both sticks in slot 0 and its done 2 runs each with 0 errors but i think it only found fault at 4th run so should i leave running for longer ?
