Thread: I think it is my Mobo but not 100% sure

I have been having this issue pretty much since I put my newest build together. When I watch video over the web on hulu or syfy with firefox, IE, chrome, and opera the computer restarts randomly. Netflix is unaffected. Also no matter what I do the motherboard will not detect my memory in dual channel. I blue screen every once in a while with a nondescriptive error. I know my computer is clean and these issues have occurred on Vista, XP, and 7 with the same hardware. I have run memtest and had a bad chunk of ram 1/2 way through and replaced it with different memory. I have my tax return so I can start replacing parts finally.

Processor: AMD Phenom II 940
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5
Memory: Corsair Dominator 2x 2GB DDR2 1066 replaced with 2 1gb sticks of Corsair1066 and then checked again with 4 1GB sticks of CorsairDDR2 667
PSU: OCZ GameXStream 700watt
GPU: Evga GTX260

I would personally try using memory of another brand. I had some corsair that worked GREAT in one board. I went to a different mobo and it caused nothing but problems. Had to go to a different brand. I note that in the memory compatibility list for your motherboard that Corsair isn't the best compatible brand. It appears Kingston is far more compatible. I'd give it a shot at least.

You could also update the bios if you haven't already done so. A good number of bios updates are compatibility issues so it might help.

Bios is updated to latest nonbeta in order to support the processor. I thought about using a different brand of memory, for some reason I only had corsair around my house. Damn pirate memory.
