So my computer is

fvcked up

recently i noticed that my computer was restarting on its own, so i was wondering what was happening, so i turned off auto restart if an error happens in windows XP. the result was the BSOD

it showed PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, so i googled it said it might be driver issues, so i decided it was time to format since i hadnt done it in just about a year. (btw took me ages to transfer files to a non OS hard drive cause of the random restarts)

anyways so i formated to vista, worked fine for a day, then bam started doing it again, reformatted again, and a day later bam.. so i got sick of reformatting and ran memtest86 for 1 pass.

the results, 990 total errors
18 errors for test #2
1 error for test #6
and 971 errors for test #7

good thing ram is cheap right now
