Welps, my dad took me on a quick Fry's run, I had the same stuff (AMD Athlon II X4 620 and Biostar A770E3 and same RAM) on hold for me.

Silly guy didn't believe me that the stuff behind him was under my name, I had to go find the guy whom I talked to (I love having a slightly good memory of voices), and had him come over and identify me as the person who had to return it (Under my address and such)

My dad decided to wander off, and grab this:
Corsair XMS3 4GB 1333mhz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-251-_-Product

So basically, I'm running this RAM, if it crashes again, we'll toss in the other exchanged RAM, if that crashes, I guess we'll have to run back to Fry's and pick up a new mobo and processor, and go from there.

I'm really thankful Fry's is only about 8 miles roundtrip, while some people may have a Fry's 10 miles, one way...
I've made at least 3 visits, and one guy in Returns knows me quite well.....

Anyways, so far using the new RAM, it's booted up faster, a lot faster, may mean nothing, but meh.

I'm gonna keep using it for a few days, if it works flawlessly, toss in the exchanged RAM, if it works, then we'll exchange it for a newer box, if possible, if not just keep the exchanged RAM and return the XMS3.

Confusing, yes... But hopefully it'll be worth it.

Still trying to revive my imploded SATA drive.. Doesn't detect it at all, not even BIOS, BIOS freezes (well, doesn't freeze, but refuses to start) trying to detect my SATAs...

Really a bummer, I had a few school folders that I really need, and would like back, a few Final's as well.... Heard rumors about freezing it, dropping it, meh, doubt I'll do them, might just keep it as my favorite paperweight... Anyone ever try to revive one of these?
