Two windows cd's, two different hard drives

well, you tried the new stick by itself, right? and if I remeber you said it performed just s you stated in your OP.

Yeah, you're right. When I initially added the new stick, that's when all the problems started. I'll post up the markings on both sticks tonight - if you can let me know if they are incompatible with each other I would appreciate it. I'm hoping this particular stick was just bad and I can get a replacement. I would like to add more memory - 512mb doesn't always cut it anymore. Here is a link to the board I have:

I'll do what I can. wish this had gone more smoothly for you.

Apparently, my rig doesn't like to run at night anymore. Tried getting on last night, and it restarted on me numerous times. Couldn't stay more than 2 minutes, literally. This morning it ran fine for about 15-20 minutes before I left for work. I'm about at my wit's end with this thing - I may have to bite the bullet and buy a new mobo, even though I don't want to since I haven't pinpointed that as the problem.

 

[robisbell]

ah heck, I was hoping that you would not have anymore problems. Let us know if we can be of any help.

I've got an RMA to return the new memory. I'll give it another day or two to stabilize - if it doesn't, I guess I'll be shopping for a new mobo and ram.
