    Mobo/keyboard issue

    Memory Upgrade 1A and 1B work fine 2A and 2B don't.

    yeah sometimes those ram slots can be a bit stiff and require a great amount of push force. a little flexing of the motherboard from pushing doesn't hurt. when i say little i mean slight not snap it heh.

    System shutsdown abruptly

    you need to be more specific. when you say booting do you mean while you are in windows already and using it or just constantly rebooting it? does it completely power off and turning it on yields the cpu fans and psu fans working but no video? explain in detail exactly what it does step by step...
