my system crashes like every few weeks giving the message fatal error upon reboot. the error detail says something about a minidump and it gives some weird directory i can't find or don't know how to find like c://doments/kenshin/locals~1.....something minidump or mini.

my cpu temp goes from 28 idle up to mid forties at the highest when playing games. mobo temp usually 38 to 40s
cpu fan is blazing a bit at 4200 but that may be cause i didnt get a chasis fan or power supply fan and im running with an open case..hope thats ok for now.

voltage 12, 5 , 3.3
vcore ranges from 1.58 to 1.64 which seems a bit high but it is stock and i dont know how to change.

ram is pc3200 kingston value at 3-3-3-8-8

any ideas why my system is so unstable at stock settings?

thanks
 
I would suggest maybe to reformat your HD and install the newest drivers for your 3D Card, Chipset and motherboard Bios.

Run Memtest 3.0 (search on google to find it). It might be a RAM problem. If you've got no error then you'll know your ram is fine.
if you've got ram problems you might want to bump the voltage a little bit
 
how weird when i run memtest it says its out of memory.
strange but i dont think thats supposed to happen.
Well i had 2046 allocated to virtually memory minimum and changed it to 3096 which said was the recommended. those values wouldnt have caused that error right?
