Need new RAM, would like to keep the same amount I have now.

N/A

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7 64bit

Closing Statement
I was told in another thread that my RAM was not supported by Intel i7. I am still having the issue where my computer resets and I am on my last straw with this. I've replaced every single item in my case, including the case, except the chip and RAM. I am just looking for a good choice of RAM for my setup that will not give me any problems.

Thanks!
 
The problem is that at this point the damage is done. As such, you will more than likely have to RMA that CPU even with the new RAM.

Go for this RAM anyway:
$80 - 2 x Patriot PSD38G13332 8GB DDR3 1333 RAM
