What's the brand and model of each memory stick ? Your may run into compatibility issues if you use sticks from different brands and with different timings, always better to have a matched pair.

The voltages, while still in the ATX specs, are far from perfect. This could indicate an unsufficient power supply. Did all the problems start after you upgraded the video card ? When upgrading the video card to a newer version you usually need to upgrade the power supply as well since newest cards often need more power. An underpowered suppy could cause graphic glitches (pinkish display) and would cause the computer to crash when running heavy games. I'll ask the advice of the hardware team about your power supply but in the mean time see if you can get your hands on a good quality 400W+ power supply and see if it still hangs with Warcraft III.
ill try get my hands on one 400w power supply. thank u for the information

Use the .ISO CD-ROM Image version of Seatools, use these instructions to create the CD.

Test your ram with memtest : download, unzip and burn memtest86+'s pre-compiled bootable .iso (.zip) using your burning software's burn from image file feature. If in doubt use ImgBurn (select "write image file to disc" and browse for the memtest .iso file). Leave the CD in the drive, restart the computer, enter the BIOS at startup and set the boot order priority to CD-rom first. Leave memtest run overnight and report if it shows any errors.
ill try to buy a blank cd today and make the necessary test that you advised.

Also thank you for the cleaning and upgrading tips

More power and God bless.
