    Bad RAM or storage?

    Hi everyone.

    Since few days I have been experiencing a problem with my hardware (almost sure it is an hardware problem, see shymptoms below).

    Today the problem suddenly dropped to an impossibility of using my PC, seeing that from occasional BSODs during "cold" Windows start application loading (and then stability after one reboot) now it always bring to an hard freeze after one minute or two after Windows is loaded (BSODs during loading can also be possible and they have always different description, e.g. POOL_HEADER FAULT, IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT).

    Before the hard freeze(s) I can see my mouse with icon on "loading" and I can move it while windows are already "freezed" (also ctrl+alt+del doesn't do anything). Also it happened once that the screen went black with my mouse still moving and then all black.

    My RAM is on signature (of course I am testing without the overclock indicated) and my HDs are two Seagate SATA II 3Gb\s in RAID0 setup.

    Thanks for help.

    Goodbye.

    Your signature does not give any information about what vendor you RAM is from ?
