Hi guys. I know i've been a bit inactive but i got WoW recently and have been hammering it. But today (Tuesday) I had a major computer scare. i put some new RAM in 3 256 ones that had been my brothers but his comp PSU went pop. I then encountered massive problems with my normal running.
A) When i first loaded world of warcraft i got an error and i thought nothing of it and tried again and WoW started loading. I entered the queue to join the server i am on atm and went ofr a shower i returned to go on and in the middle of loading my character WoW Crashed out and got another error. i tried to load WoW up again and got lots of errors of the same sort each time.
B) I Then absolutely shit myself thinking i had done something earlier and buggered it and wanted to be sure. So i immediately headed to load up EVE and 'Lo and behold it crashes on login repeatedly now im sitting there thinking what it could be because the problems started AFTER i put the RAM in and i naturally assumed it was but wanted a second opinion. i called my brother in and said im having problems since i put those RAM Sticks in and he was adamant that it wasnt that so i did a few other things. i used scandisk on all my harddrives and foudn no problem only had to defrag one drive because the other was absolutely clean. So i proceeded to remove the ram sticks one by one. now one of the ram sticks in there was orignally in there from me so it was fine but the trouble is i had 6 ram sticks that i had been playing around with and all of them except one was unmarked in terms of showing the RAM it provides. so i had to a bit fo trial and error one by one loading up one RAM stick at a time. and when i was about to call it quits the last two sticks turned out to work fine.. now i got my PC working properly again and am re-installing WoW but am reduced to 256 RAM for about a week until i get some replacements.
C) I am currently writing another story for EVE-Pirate and i am going to write up a small encounter i had yesterday.

Holy crap! Are you playing wow with only 256 mb ram? You are insane. i beefed mine up with 2x1024 blocks.
Anyhow it might be messing up because the blocks you've inserted isn't the same type that's already in there. Maybe try to remove what you had in already and put your brothers in instead. It could also be ram blocks that isn't compatable with your motherboard.
Either way you should have atleast 1gb of ram for WOW ;)
nah its not that because i had used em before and i was playing on 512 and in a week ill be getting 1gb ram anyway :-) but my comps computer got shocked by a static shock and the whole motherboard HDD and everything went so he had to get a new motherboard but still had teh same ram.. then his PSU went pop...
probably the RAM got fried slightly.. but hey im getting some more so not matter.. 1gb ram here i come lol
