Sorry I just sort of left this hanging, however, the time was not in vain. Thanks for the input and I will consider doing those when problems arise again. As for the moment I seem to be doing entirely okay. The last thing I did was reinstalled windows and troubleshot the RAM problems. Having...

I agree that it could be a chain of events that has led to the current situation. However, I still have needed to troubleshoot other issues in order to further pinpoint that it is likely the motherboard. I needed to start somewhere and the PSU was cheapest. Next step in this process is indeed...

Look, I appreciate that you're responding, but that would be like getting a new car when all you need to do is change a spark plug. As I said, everything in this machine, aside from the mobo, is less than two years old and hasn't been stressed much at all. It isn't a waste of time or money (in...

Well I've replaced my PSU and I think that has solved most of my crashing. I can run the stress tests without any crashing. I can also play my games without any problems. But now I'm getting different BSODs. Since my last post, I have had: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM due to Ntfs.sys...

Well I want to troubleshoot it for a couple reasons. Mostly, I can't afford to get a whole new computer at this point and I shouldn't need to get a whole new system either. Everything except the PSU and the MOBO is pretty new. Aside from the money aspect, I'm an extremely.... 'dedicated' Mr...

Sorry I never came back to this. To be honest, I simply gave up. I sold the sucker along with the extra wifi adapter. I called Samsung and Google and neither one could help me. Google also really didn't want to help since I mentioned that I opened it up. As well, they told me to run it in beta...

Hi there. First of all, based on my research, I'm thinking that this is possibly a PSU issue. However, I have no experience with a failing PSU. Windows 7 Ultimate AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE (3.4 standard) NVIDIA 750 ti 8gb Kingston Ram (4,4) (or 8 gig Gskill ripjaws (2,2, 4), depends on if I'm...

I've attempted an usb/wifi adapter and it requires driver installations, which chrome os couldn't handle. Obviously I could continue to use the ethernet or just buy a new chromebook, but that defeats the purpose of this thread. I'm looking to troubleshoot the hardware problem on a parts-based...

Well the goal here is to troubleshoot whatever hardware issue this could be since my experience working with Chrome tech has pretty much ruled out any software issue. We bought this 2nd hand got a week out of it before it did this. Samsung wasn't any help and they want it sent in for...

As far as I'm aware of and through all my troubleshooting, I am pretty sure there is no version of a Device Manager within Chrome OS. I also can't update anything individually because I guess Chromebooks update their individual devices when Chrome releases new OS versions. So there isn't any way...

It does work with ethernet (has to use a USB-Ethernet converter) My router and all other signals I used work with all my other devices as well as my Acer c720 chhromebook. The problem really is isolated to just this chromebook and I'm beginning to think hardware, though I don't know what could...

Thanks for the quick reply, but I can assure that it isn't the router. I've taken this to school, work and home and have exposed it to roughly 7 different signals, but all are out of range. I even bought a dual channel router to have access to a 5ghz signal, but that still didn't solve it...

I have a Samsung XE303c12 chromebook. I have been working a lot with Chrome to establish any software/router configuration issues. Nothing has been resolved in that fashion, so I'm moving onto hardware. I was wondering what could cause an 'out of range' issue to suddenly occur on ALL networks...

Yeah thanks for all your support. I appreciate the help.

Well to be fair, I love my Acer chromebook and I've had nowhere near the same issues. I feel like this Samsung may be one of the earlier Chromebooks, as it only has about 3.5 hrs battery life. If I can't figure this out, I hope to sell this Samsung and go towards another Acer chromebook. But, I...
