Bad seating is always a possibility.

hmm alright, I'll re install the ram. Since I know you have the same motherboard as me, does the first slot start next to the cpu or does it start away from it I couldnt tell from the manual

If you only have two sticks, the failsafe for dual-channel is DIMM2 and DIMM4. From the processor socket, the order is empty, RAM stick, empty, RAM stick.

Okay so this time, i swapped the ram sticks all together but they arestill in the sameslot, how can i know if this fixed it?

Keep using your computer under the same circumstances the crash happened under until it happens again (if ever?)

alright, lets see if this works, if it doesnt, I'll bump the topic again, locking. Goodnight

alright, I swapped the ram and this time, it was up for a bit, froze and I shut it off. It refused to turn back on, so I swapped the ram back to what it was before and it seems to be working, why does it keep doing this damn it

Do not rule out the PSU being insufficient. The wattage being pulled from the PSU is not constant as the cpu and gpu power draw will change with the load being put on it. Try running a heavily graphically intensive task and see if your comp shuts down.

I ran battlefield today and had it up all night yesterday and it ran fine and downloaded all of my games, this is just plain shutting off and it seems more stable than it was when I started it it doesnt shut down it just freezes, I shut it down.

My money is on the ram being faulty. From the information in this thread, it seems unlikely that the psu would be the culprit. You could try taking the ram from another computer temporarily, to see if that fixes the problem

my other computer only supports ddr2

Ignore everyone who is telling you your PSU is insufficient. Your entire computer is pulling no more than like 300 watts.

What is your motherboard, and what is the brand of RAM you are using.
