System troubleshooting please help

[Noorkhan418]

So i have a computer the pc specs are

Amd 965 be but not oc'ed

Amd 5850

8gb PNY olympia Ram

500w corsair psu

I think thats all you need for the question

My question is that whenever i power on my computer after a certain time (8+ hours) it never boots up. It either gets blue screened or turns on completely unstable and then blue screens. Them i have to power it down completely by turning the switch on the psu. Regular shut downs don't do anything. Its not the gfx card because I've tried out 3 different cards. Can anyone help??

if you got 2 sticks

 

run with just one stick and see if it boots

 

reseat your cooler and clean out any dust inside your PC

 

reapply the thermal paste

 

check all power connections

Since you seem like you know what youre talking about can i ask a questions

Is there a difference between OEM "generic" ram with the same speed as a " gaming" ram kit

not much difference between them

 

only for the AMD APUs like the A10-7850K do you need the fast 2400MHz RAMs

 

otherwise the 1600MHz RAMS are good for all PCs

 

don't waste money on gaming RAMs
