Hey guys, I really need some help bad. I have an HP desktop, and it's a bit old, like 5-6 years. Though it has a fast dual processor and a good amount of RAM. Anyways, I am running Windows 7 on it, and it worked for several months, but now my desktop keeps restarting itself, Windows 7 is running slower, sometimes I can't go anywhere besides the desktop because nothing happens when I click anything on the start menu, and the computer properties keeps saying that I have different amounts of RAM every time I log on. Btw, my 7 was a pre-release I got back in August. Do you think it's a hardware issue, or an issue with the OS?

Because the beta expired about 4 days ago. This was just what they did to stop people from using it forever. Apparently you can turn your clock back a month and it will stop for a temporary fix.
You can pick up serial keys for the OS pretty damn cheap from all over the internet (like me even Tongue).
