Running on Pentium 4, 1 gig or RAM, and it heats up pretty quickly; which is why I never run 2 memory-hogging programs at once (i.e. it overheats sometimes when running maple and firefox at the same time, F7). I can gather specs and post them here later (out-of-town at the moment so I can't provide them right now :[). I guess I need a new computer anyway, but I've been getting by with what I have for a long time now, so I don't know why this started happening all of a sudden.Well the average life span of RAM is about 3 years (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter) and normally the memory allocation problems will be fixed by windows itself, except for when the memory addresses data that can't be corrected (read: kernel core, etc), then a BSOD might occur.
@Imitazion: Thanks, I'll try that.
What you can do is (if you know how this works) is increase the voltage of your RAM a bit via the BIOS (like + 0.1 ~ +0.3 volts), this might be a temporary fix, but malfunctioning RAM will never fix itself.
