no i mean check their compatible list against your ram make and mode
I couldn't find a list, and my make/model wasn't listed on a tentative list created by some retailer, but it did say that it supports up to 1066MHz with an AM2+ socket.
yes that's a good way to eliminate the gfx card as the cause
So I ran my computer with the onboard graphics, which was terrifyingly slow by the way with a lot of screen tearing :O, and it did crash moments later and I believe it's the same 124 error. Again I had windows media playing music and World of warcraft up (lowest settings because computer couldnt handle it)
