hello all, taking my buddies advice and seeking the help of some more knowledgable people then him and myself. alright so heres the deal, i recently upgraded my graphics card and ram into my computer. i have a emachines T6003, it came with 512 mb of ram and a shared graphics card. now, all we did was basically take out the 2 old ram chips and put in the 2 new ones, and also put in e-GeForce 8600 GT 256 mb DDR 3 PCI-E vid card. now when im playing my game, world of warcraft or starcraft, my computer restarts for no reason it seems and goes to a bull screen saying something about memory cache..or something, and then reboots. sometimes i cant even read what the blue screen says. so after a bit of research and some help from people on my previous post i figured out my graphics card required a more hefty power supply then what i had previously been using. so today i got my new one and threw it in and hoped for the best. however i am sad to report that it still rebooted as it has been doing since i got the upgrades. i am at a loss and have no idea what to do. if any1 has any advice or questions more specifically for me please AIM me = Romer021 or reply as ill be checking this post often in hopes of finding that informed person with the fix to my problem. sorry for wall of text, and to any1 that has any advice or tips please post them and let me say THANKS in advance.

ok so right after i posted this and tried to play ti happened but froze on the blue screen so i decided to jot down some of what it says to perhaps better inform someone that knows more then me what is happening

"a problem has been detected and to avoid damage to your system it has been shut down, if problem persists try disabling any newly installed hardware or software"

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

then it suggests diabling BIOS memory caching or shadowing? i dunno thought this info might help diagnosing my problem.

Sounds like a driver issue.

Start by updating your graphics drivers.

alright so last night i decided to take my new ram out and put in my old ram, and sure as shit, my computer didnt restart once. so im wondering if i perhaps bought the wrong ram or if it is not compatiable with something in my system, i dunno but i hope someone can give me an insight on my problem. also i have the most recent graphics drivers and update them regularly so im not sure that is the issue. i think its more a ram issue due to the fact i havent experienced any problems since switching out my new for the old. my new ram is pc3200 because i was under the impression that is what i needed but perhaps someone can tell me differently and i can go get my money back hopefully and attempt to get the right kind. any thoughts??

Probably faulty RAM then, get it swapped mate.
