Hi,
Having not upgraded my pc since I bought it a few years ago I decided to throw in some wellneeded RAM, as a few of the games I played complained about it at times.
I bought: 2x Kingston HyperX - 2048 MB DDR2 - 6400 CL4 240 - Pin DIMM
and replaced my old: 2x Elixir - 1GB DDR2 PC6400 800MHz 1. Part - Pin DIMM
My motherboard is: ASUS P5N-E/SLI nForce 650i S-775 which from what I gathered should be compatible with the new ram.
But after installing them, without any problems I thought. I've begun to get random crashes in windows, sometimes when I aint even doing nothing. I get a blue screen with too much info to read before it restarts, but says something about if I have added new hardware recently that might be the course of failure.
I was hoping to get some advice on whether this is compatabillity problem or corrupted RAM. I should note, that I'm far from a computer xpert. So if you would please explain it in an easy way, it would be really appreciated. Just ask if you need more info!
