RAM Again

[Sheepykins]

i hate RAM lol.

so i bought some new RAM, installed it .worked fine, worked great. could play dark messiah now. then suddenly today, two days after i installed it, my computer has a spaz, restarts every 20 minutes. wont run anything firefox dead, noscans everything.

put in my old RAM, surprise. everything works.

basically any ideas on what to do wit hthe new RAM to make it work?

dead ram? how many sticks did you buy.. just 1... or several?

 

[Sheepykins]

well i dont think its dead, i can still put it in and use it, it just doesnt want to do anything. crashes everything.

i bought two 512 sticks of ddr2700

and i added that to a stck of 512, same speed and type as before.

Bad ram would be a possibility.

it was working perfectly though thats what i cant understand. it just suddenly started being ghey when i was playing WoW

have you tried reseting cmos.. or even upping the voltage on your ram... you may need up the voltage

and how do i do these things. bios?

 

[NosBoost300]

wait, is yours an HP or anything like that.. or have you built it yourself

i did assemble it from a ton of different parts but it isnt a HP
edit - my friend set the bios for me. im not so good with it
