This is my first build and I thought I did pretty good. I bought all the parts and successfully installed them all and had my new gaming rig running great! When a friend came over a week later the computer was still running fine. When he looked in he saw that I had placed my 2 sticks of 4gb corsair XMS3 ram Right next to each other on the mobo. He said I was supposed to skip a spot and that I had installed it wrong. I let him switch one of the sticks a spot over. Ever since (at first in-game only and more recently whenever) I have been freezing every 30-90 minutes. (each freeze lasts about 30-90 seconds with sound loop). After about a week of me just dealing with it my computer wouldn't even start. I would get to the windows Welcome screen and then it would freeze and wouldn't come back. So then I tried putting the ram back into the original spot where I could finally get into windows. Nevertheless the old freezing was back and as annoying as ever. I don't know what to do, and I would like some help.
