Hi,

As of late, my computer's been having a buncha problems, for example: Internet Explorer crashes randomly, WinAmp won't work at random times, AIM won't work at random times, etc. On occasion, these crashes also come along with: "DrWatson Postmortem Debugger has encounted an error and has to close." Can someone please help!? Here is my Hijack This log:

Thank's for helping me with this!

The crashes aren't happening as much and winamp / AIM haven't had errors, so thanks for that =) However, sometimes when running java in Internet Explorer, it crashes, and when I try to update an MMORPG I play (Lineage II), whenever it comes across a large file, when decompressing it, "Decompression failed" pops-up, and the file updater closes. Also, before I had to update it (and after I figured out there was a problem with my computer), whenver I played Lineage II, as soon as my character would load up, the game would crash with the message "Insufficient memory; check hard drive space," which I find strange because the day before that, everything was fine. Could it be related to the DrWatson Postmortem Debugger, or could it be something completely different?

Hey,

Everything seems fine now; thanks for all your help! I think the problem was the RAM I put in my computer two weeks ago. I removed it, and everything's running fine, which is still strange because the RAM was working fine in my computer before this whole event.

But anyway, thanks for all your help!
