Hi

not sure what my issue is but have a GA-P43-ES3g with an intel quad core and 8gb ram. Windows 7 pro64 installed.

when instaling the system I had to remove 4gb of ram  otherwise it froze on extracting files.

It now has 8gb and whenever the PC is left static the screen sver cuts in and as I would expect - move the mouse nad the system works however if I leave it for say an hour the scrennsaver is dead as is the mouse and keyboard. I then have to unplug and start from scratch.

I'm now in the loop MS say hardware and ....

I've tried in W7 disabling power saving but to no avail. Would appreciate any ideas?

thanks

Well the first things to try would be disabling the power saving modes in the BIOS, C1E, C3,5 etc and maybe EIST. Try that and see if it helps.

Does the system work run fine with only 4GB?

Have you tested each kit of RAM with Memtest86+ ? And what ram are you using make/model?
