My system dies (i.e. black screen and system halts) almost instantly everytime I
boot up "Black Hawk Down", sometimes just listening MP3. The shop replaced the display
card for me but it still got the same symptom. I have ruled out the possibilities
of PSU and overheating inside the case. Now I am almost certain that it's caused
by the faulty RAM. Thanks for suggesting the site for downloading the RAM tester
Ruthran it really helps.
