It's starting to seem my computer problems are due to my mother board, tried running my computer without my main graphics card but I still had problems, reinstalled my drivers after putting my main graphics card but still had problems..
Can't be a PSU issue, 850W is quite a bit.. Sigh, guess I'll be making some phone calls after the weekend.

Graphics Card Problems
I've been having problems with my graphics card, mainly every once in a while the driver would stop responding and restart, at first I considered it was a driver problem, but after using 3 different drivers and still having the problem it seemed obvious it wasn't a drivers problem.
After a bit of searching I came across a post which pretty much explained my problem, and the possible reasons.
One of them is RAM issues, so I ran some memory tests and.. It returned an error, after testing all my RAM sticks one at a time I found out one of them is faulty, so faulty the computer won't boot up if it's the only one in..
That's been sent back to get replaced and with it I thought my problems were finally solved, nope, still crashes.

Three monitors
Yeah~
Went out today and bought a cheapish graphics card, slight problems when the nVidia control panel wasn't detected the cards, but that was fixed when I did a clean reinstall of the drivers, now to find a use for three monitors~

Gah, max monitors
Turns out my graphics card can only handle a maximum of 2 monitors, I was mislead by the fact it has 3 ports at the back.
So while I've got my shiny new 22" there's a monitor next to it just sitting there, not doing anything.
I don't really need 3 monitors, but it'd be nice, and probably useful somehow. So I'm considering buying another graphics card, nothing too expensive, I just want something that can display pictures, so it'll be quite cheap. But then I shall have the power of 3 monitors while coding! Bwahahahaha.
