    Does Microsoft have anything to do with a company or group calling themselves Premium Network Services or Network Technologies?

    They operate from somewhere in Asia and operate under the name Team Microsoft.

  2. Scammers using my Personal name.

    Most computers and laptops are purchased at retail stores or online come from well known
    OEM

    computer system manufacturers
    like Dell, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Acer, Gateway, Packard Bell, etc. If their customer data bases are hacked by cyber-criminals, the scammers may have access to all sorts of customer personal information
    to include name, address, phone numbers, credit card numbers and what computer make or model they purchased.
    With that info, the criminals can steal your identity, use your name, call your home, send phishing emails and whatever other innovated scams they can concoct. These are a few examples.


    Another avenue is
    Out-of-the-box exploitation
    of new computers by hackers and other nefarious criminals.

    For more information about how these scams work and resources to protect yourself from scams, please read

    are suggestions near the bottom for dealing with scams and a list of security scanning tools to use in case the usual methods do not resolve the problem or you allowed remote access into your computer.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
