I have Asus M11AD and yesterday i wanted to add another 4gb of ram so I got the ram and put it into the second ram slot in my pc. Then when i turn on my pc it works fine for about 10-15 minutes and then reboots. I would be glad if someone could help. thank you in advanced.
 
Solution
In short, you can't just buy any old stick of ram and put it into your computer and expect it to work properly. It's probably the case that your two sticks of ram have different timings and latencies, and they are not working together properly, which is causing your system to shut down unexpectedly.

Every stick of RAM has a rated speed in MHz and timing in CL, and if you want to install multiple sticks of RAM in your computer they must match in speed and timing.
