“The computer is just randomly stopping”

If it is happening on reboots from updates when you’re not there, it could also be the display drivers, or the V-RAM.

The display not re-syncing on Windows startup is way more likely than the main RAM failing.

It’s booting fine, just occasional shut downs.

The funny thing is that it worked fine for a couple of months. I thought that the windows update was bad but when I restored the disc image, I had another shut down before I applied and\y new drivers or OS updates. It was my “clean” image made before I started installing programs and surfing the internet.

Like I mentioned above, I have had a computer acting the same before, You may be right about a bad driver but I don’t think it is Vram, when I happened to be there when it happened, I did not lose video sync.
