You are very welcome.

If it turns out the RAM is the issue, then that module is bad and needs to be replaced. What I'm thinking the issue is one of the modules is bad, so when the PC shuts off, it's not dumping data properly. But your further testing will prove or disprove this.

Did you get the original drivers installed for wireless?

No worries, let me know what happens. If none of this works, it may be the board. Have you had any power issues recently?

Okay, so if nothing is in the eventvwr, then that means whatever is happening is something that Windows cannot necessarily track, which is usually hardware. Start with your RAM, remove all your modules but one and play with them and test them out and see how your system runs. Bad RAM modules...

Where are you testing in regards to location? Are you in another room? Can you verify your signal strength?

Activating dual channel will be in the BIOS options (if it is a feature). Most motherboards that offer dual channel don't have this known as a "feature", it's just available to you. It sounds like one of your RAM modules may be bad. Try them in there one at a time, does your PC still boot okay?

1. That link you sent for your current PC, that looks like a full size tower. If all you're wanting to change is the graphics card, I think you'll be okay. 2. The case is only a vessel, it has no compatibility as far as what it supports; it just provides the container. So to answer your...

If you are sure your motherboard is dual channel, and they support the modules you bought, then yes, they should work. But the order in which they go in is motherboard specific; none of us will be able to tell you without the motherboard model. So here's what I would do, google the motherboard...

First thing about this, you ALWAYS want to use manufacture drivers if possible. So, first thing I would do is download the proper network drivers, uninstall the ones you downloaded and install the ASUS ones. For your ping testing, were you testing this via wireless or direct connection? What...

Do you see a blue screen before it shuts down? Check the event viewer, do you see anything there?

Okay, so your second statement answered your first one. The problem is not the monitors, it's how your PC is booting up. This honestly sounds like a RAM problem to me. Open your PC up and check out the RAM modules. Test with one module at a time or so and see if the behavior repeats. Also...

It sounds like some of the hardware may already be malfunctioning. Booting issues like this can be caused by a few things: CPU, RAM, or other PCI related devices. So here's what I would do. 1. Test with the RAM modules. Remove some, put them in different spots and test booting and performance...

Do you see a blue screen before it restarts? Head into Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer. Open the Windows Logs>System directory and scroll down to the last point when it restarted. Do you see any errors there?

A question for the networking experts here.. We have an internal site at location A. We have a layer 2 pipe to location B. When utilizing the ethernet, site B can access the site. What we're wanting to do is allow them to access it via wifi with the site-to-site VPN (which is currently...
