So the other day i wanted to make a move to 64 bit. Origonaly when i built this comp 5 months ago i couldn't install 64 bit with 4 gigs of ram in. However i found some microsoft patch online that was supost to fix it. Well all in all 64bit never became stable with 4 gigs of ram. So i took 2 out. Then what was happening was randomly everything would start to lock up and my computer would bsod.
With that i moved back to 32 bit. And i tried installing with 4 gigs of ram (like i was able to do when i first built the computer) however i was getting bsods in the middle of the vista instal. So i took two out. Now the same thing is happening again randomly, my computer will start locking up and then bsod.
Im thinking this might have something to do with either my ram, or my cpu over heating (which dosnt make sence, btw not useing the stockcooler) This all started happeneing after i tried going to 64 bit. I was complety stable with 4 gigs in my system before then.
 
Test your RAM individually using Memtest86+. Let it run on each stick for a few hours, as long as it completes several passes without errors. Report back.
 
Hmm alright so this is what happened....

I locked up again, but no bsod....just locked up and windows exploere disappered

The next day i start up them computers i get "Hard Disk Read error" so i had to reload today....

Now if my finagling didnt fix it im going to be in a big problem cause i wont know whats wrong. However one thing im noticing is my hard drives rpms get real fast when i access files and i can hear it , this never has happened before.
 
So run a drive diagnostic tool available from your drive manufacturer's website. I'm guessing your HDD is failing. Backup your data and get a new drive.
 
My data is already backed up when i was trying to go to 64.

All 3 of my drives are preety much new

2 250 seagates are 6 months old, my 500 gig seagate is a few weeksn
 
if drive is reving up and down, there may be a problem the the disks cache system,which=new drive.do you hear it coming fron your main drive?is there any grinding or sratching noises?peace
