ok so i recently put new ram into my desktop computer,
the specs are
cpu: AMD phenom II 1090t 6 core
ram: 2x Strontium 4GB DDR-3 1333MHz
gpu: sapphire ati HD 6970
hard drive: 2x 500gb sata drives,

ok so now the problem,
the computer had been running smooth for almost a year i put in the new ram chips and ever since then i have been having troubles, first one of my 500gb hard drives died,
then i had a blue screen,
occupationally i have crackly sound when listing to music or watching vids on you tube
and when i am playing games, ie, skyrim, gtaiv my whole computer freezes causing me to restart the whole system,
i have ruled out the ram, (it is working perfectly)
and the GPU is fine also,
so any idea what the problem would be would be FANTASTIC
thank you

Pull all the ram out, install one chip , and test,, remove that ram chip and install another, testing 1 by 1... You will have to test each and every piece of hardware..
 
My fathers computer recently had a similar problem (i.e. sudden restarts, BSODs and freezing). Reason was a dying PSU, so maybe try to get a good working PSU and test it out for a few days.

But if you've noticed that the problems started when you installed the new RAM, then maybe running memtest and/or lowering the RAM clock in BIOS could help shed more light on whether the RAM isn't actually faulty.
 
ok so I lowered the clock speed of the ram in the bios and it has fixed all problems,
thanks for all the help :D
