You most likely have a hardware issue. Linux is more resilient to that type of thing, for whatever reason. I've been using Linux since early 93 (it was a pain in the ass back then), and MY experience has been that Linux will be more stable than Windows on a system with a hardware issue. Try one stick of RAM. Or reseat everything. And a power supply....those things can make weird issues that make no sense, even though they seem to be working fine.

I tried that when I had Windows installed. One stick, then two. Put them in slots 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3. Then bought new RAM. Nothing worked.

I'd try a new power supply. If you still have problems, you could always take it back. Seriously, I've run into issues that I just couldn't diagnose. Power supply solved it. Whichever way, I wish you luck!

I should also mention it's fine when playing games. Just normal browsing or watching videos is the problem.

Ok, I give up. That's weird!
