Or am I just crazy for wanting to run 2GB in dual channel on this PC?

I'm beginning to think my PC dosen't like 1GB sticks of ram... the replacement sticks, and even 1 stick are causing the same error again! his is from Corsair VS pc3200 1GB sticks now... Does anyone know if theres compatability issues with the DFI UT Lanparty Nforce4 Ultra-D motherboards and...

Well, it's been about 12 hours of running Half-Life 2 and the system is still running smooth as silk when it used to freeze up after 15 - 20 minutes.... looks like it WAS the memory after all!!!

Hmm ok I have the RAM swapped out and 2 hours of HL2 playing so far no problems (except for only 512MB ram) I'm going to let it sit on all night to test it out, but it looks like it was the RAM the whole time (so far) Will reupdate in the am...

Alright, I have some sticks of pc2700 ram in another machine (crucial) to plug in and try it out... I'm about ready to take it to a pc repair store here in town to see what they can tell me about it too *grimace*

So 2 sticks of 512 running in dual channel would probably be better than 1 1GB stick in single? That makes sense... but thats why I got 2 1GB sticks (1 is bad tho) Bah spending more and more $$ on this thing :(

Any thoughts this might be the video card crapping out on me?

Try rebooting your modem. I've been having that error all day long today and rebooting my DSL modem fixed the problem.

Polishwonder: My mobo is DFI NF4 Lanparty Ultra D CPU: AMD64 Athlon 4000+ video card: Hercules HIS ATI X800 XL 256MB PCIe sound: Onboard module with the mobo Memory: generic (I think, not sure) PS: Antec TruePower 2.0 550W

Man, I had that login error 189 that people randomly have been getting... fixed it be rebooting my DSL modem. Anyway, Hi guys, thanks for the ideas! FlyingPenguin, Last night was the second night I've run memtest86 all night without errors on the 1 stick of RAM I have lest in the...

Hmm still no love :( Installed the catalyst 5.4's, then went to the latest omegas and still the freezing happens. Double checked all the drivers I have loaded to make sure they're the current version, and I'm rerunning memtest86 as we speak. I'm runnin out of ideas here :(

I downloading the new 5.4 catalyst drivers at home while I'm at school/work so I'll update to that build when I get home tonight. Nothing is overclocked yet (until I get this PC running and stable) BIOS was updated this morning also to the 10 march 2005 version. I'll have to check out...

Actually it's even freezing now while not playing games. Surfing the internet makes this PC freeze up also.

Umm well after getting the new PSU from Newegg (Antec truepower 2.0 550W) I'm still getting PC freezing during game play. Possible bad Video Card perhaps?

Hmm ok so get a new PS and see if that works then right?
