Multiple Monitors w/ 1 Video Card

Hey everyone,

I tried searching for the answer to this but it's really hard to word it for search engines so I don't find a lot of relevant searches.

Well, here's my concern.

I want to eventually buy a 24'' monitor, but I would like to use my 19 inch as well (more real estate the better, right ...

5.0 - 5.08
12 - 11. 84
-12 - -11.95
1.20 - 1.15

It runs better than with two sticks, but the problem of automatic shutdowns persists.

I have not updated the bios yet, but the current version is the one with that memory fix.

My computer now boots up, but I still have the original problem of automatic shut downs :( .

I think I didnt push hard enough on the ram and thats why the computer didnt load, I think...

EDIT: With two sticks of ram, it shuts off with no warning alot, so I took that stick out again.

Computer doesnt even boot!

I previously posted about my problem here and in the software forum. I figured the problem had to be a hardware issue, and I thought I solved it.

The first thing I did was take out one stick of ram and my computer suddenly stopped shutting off so frequently. The problem still continued, but less ...

Incase anyone is reading this thread for a solution of their own. I think my problem was solved by taking out a piece of ram to test which of my two sticks were malfunctioning.

Solution found, I think. Someone recommended that I take out a stick of ram and see how that works, and when I took one out my computer doesnt crash. I tried to put it back in again, and this time my computer wouldnt even boot. I would just hear BEEP BEEP BEEP and nothing, so I assumed it was the ram.

SessionSaver - Saves the websites that I was viewing when I close firefox

Is there anything that could be causing this?

Because if this is a hardware issue, formatting wouldnt do much, would it?

I'm just trying to figure out some cause because if all the viruses & spyware are gone, and the problem persists, what else would be causing my computer to just shut off?
