hi gurus out there, am facing some issues with my rig and contemplating if i should try to troubleshoot or get a new one altogether. Been a couple of years since i bought it and specs as below
Processor: Intel G3220 @ 3GHZ
MOBO: Asrock H8aM-DGS R2.0
DDR3 Kingston 4GB 12800/1600 RAM (1x)
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series
Symptoms:
1) keeps restarting once power on, no signal on monitor. once in a while powers on and still no signal on monitor.
2) occasional BSOD
3) freezes during normal operations (surfing web with max 3 tabs, watching youtube vids)
Have tried to google online and reseated the ram a couple of times, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Seems like a matter of luck before the same symptoms come back.
Am thinking of getting a new DDR3 RAM but afraid that if RAM is not the problem the DDR3 will be rendered useless once i intend to switch to an i3 or i5. I only use the rig for web browsing, video watching and dota 2.
TIA for any advice at all
