Ok, so i was doing a flight tonight, and during that flight, i went up to the computer to check up on the progress. and one time i got up and went to touch my joystick and i shocked it with my finger. the joystick lights flickered off then back on, and the sim paused for a few seconds and then it went back to normal. so i got up again, and it shocked again, same deal, lights went off for a second then back on, and the sim paused and then went back to normal. everything was fine, until like half an hour later when my sim crashed. i got a message from vista saying that the program stopped working. i was bummed out, but oh well, what can you do. but then like 2 minutes after the crash, i got a blue screen that said some problem and the computer restarted. upon restart, right when i am about to get to my desktop, same blue screen. i cant read it all because it restarts, but it says something about memory. so i tried a few more times, and all the same. then i restarted in safe mode and i am able to run the system. while in safe mode, i went to my control panel and went to the systems tab, and in memory, it says i only have 4gb of RAM, i should have 6. then i pressed ctr alt del, and looked at the performance tab, and it is showing 4gb of ram. so my theory is that maybe my shock killed one of my sticks of ram? i have 3 sticks, 2 gb each. is that possible? im so frustrated, i have had this computer for a little over a week and now this. any help would be greatly appreciated
