Not a big deal, but it is annoying. Lately, when shutting down my computer, it restarts instead of shuts down. The second time works okay. The only suspect I have is the new SSD. My installation should be very clean, no root kits detected. Of course there are workarounds like using the...

After-market RAM sellers typically stick on a label that spans up to half the length of the memory module. I've also noted that PCs nowadays usually provide for forced air circulation over the memory modules - the implication being that RAM could overheat without the flow of air. Is there any...
