All of a sudden my computer will only work for a short while before it will get stuck doing the most recent thing I've asked it to and then eventually BSOD. I've checked the cpu temp while in the setup menu and it's idling plenty low so I don't think it's anything to do with the heatsink. I don't know if it's a motherboard issue, ram issue, or something I haven't thought of. I've tried moving the ram to different slots as I only use 2 of 4. I've tried using each stick on it own. Always the same result. Now I built this computer about 4 years ago so the motherboard and ram are pretty old. I've upgraded the hard drive and graphics card since.
Here are what my motherboard and Ram are.
ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model
I'd appreciate any help. I'm hoping it's just the ram and not the motherboard, otherwise looks like I'm basically building a new computer.
