I don't know what is wrong with my computer. I used to be able to do anything on it and now if I try to play anything it crashes. I thought I might have a virus so I took it and got it checked and I didn't. I got the computer built for gaming I have a GeForce GTX 460 and a GeForce GTS 450. Then. I have the patriot sector 7, like the three pack. Then a Kingston hyper blue. Any help would be appreciated

What power supply do you have and have you tried removing either the Patriot or Kingston RAM and seeing what happens then?
 
Where do I find the power supply? And I removed all of them to see them but I haven't taken them out sepreratly and powered it on. But i can if you think that might help

Yes you should try running it with just one set of memory, eg just use the Kingston RAM for a bit.

If your power supply isn't up to the job then that could also be causing problems. What does it say on the side of your power supply? I can't make it out from the photo, sorry.

I assume you have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling your drivers as well as removing one card and seeing the problem persists?
 
If you are getting a blue screen when it crashes then do this.

Download BlueScreenView
No installation required.
Unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.
 
Get the one I linked you to. Usually mixed brands of ram will work well together providing same timings and speed but depending on the motherboard, it may be picky what memory it likes. The power supply you have now can't power your video cards sufficiently.
 
Yeah I'm going to suggest you get a better power supply first, you probably want a CX 600 or a CX 700 from Corsair, and then if the problem persists I'm going to suggest looking at your RAM.
