Re: Added RAM, system unstable

Hi, I've had my box

Intel Pentium 4HT, 2400 MHz (3 x 800)
Asus P4C800 Deluxe
Intel Canterwood i875P Chipset
1536 MB DDR SDRAM (Corsair, running at 200MHz)
ATI Radeon X700 Pro 256 MB
Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit
Windows XP Home

for over two years now and it was perfectly stable through two video card
upgrades and even a sound card upgrade. Recently I bought some RAM for my
system, a gig to be exact. It was 512 MB before the upgrade. Since then I am
getting FREQUENT system shut downs due to "stop errors" and an "unknown
device driver". Micro$oft is unsure of what is causing the problem. Now this
stick of RAM is the same brand, Corsair, the same specs, almost identical to
the stick of 512, except its 1024. My BIOS is the latest out from Asus and I
keep my drivers updated. Any suggestions? If more info is needed, just ask,
I will provide as the need arises. TIA, all.

Hello Dave.
I have the same motherboard, and also upgraded the Ram to 1.5 Gb from 512
Mb. Crucial (256 Mb x 2) and Corsair Value
Select (512 Mb x 2).

Have you read your manual's Ram configuration info? You must!

Your motherboard supports up to 2 Gb of DDR 400 ram. This ram must be fitted
in exact pairs (same size, same type, same brand), using 2 slots per pair
(there are 4 slots). Note that the slots have 2 colours (2 slots of each),
and that you must use the right slot colours in conjunction with the correct
slot numbers.
I think that you can configure your ram differently (don't ask me), but it
won't be DDR ram.

Sylvain.
