First if this is in the wrong forum please move it. Second My computer
will randomly freeze or crash when I am doing anything including
nothing. I have a compaq sr2010nx with a xfx geforce 8600 xxx with 1.25
gb of ram It still happens when I disable all non microsoft services and
startup software. I ran memtest and there were no errors. It is also not
a virus and it runs fine in safe mode. Any Ideas?

This is probably a hardware issue, not software. RAM is not the only
hardware component! If this is an OEM computer, contact the OEM's tech
support for repair/replacement. If this is a home-built machine, start
doing more comprehensive testing.

Standard disclaimer: I can't see and test your computer myself, so these are
just suggestions based on many years of being a professional computer tech;
suggestions based on what you've written. You should not take my
suggestions as a definitive diagnosis. If you can't do the work yourself
(and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the
machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent
of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up
before you take the machine into a shop.
