Hi
Was wondering if I could get some help regarding some RAM I recently purchased. I currently have a Dell XPS 400, and I wanted to add some RAM, so I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144045&Tpk=GeIL%2b1 GB%2b(2%2bx%2b512MB)%2b240-Pin%2bDDR2%2bSDRAM%2bDDR2%2b667%2b(
(Sorry for the long link). After installing my computer did recognize the added memory, and worked fine for about 15 minutes, then I got the blue screen giving me an error message that was no doubt affiliated with the new RAM. But I rebooted, and it happened again.
I used CPU-Z and checked my current memory, which are dual channel 512MB sticks, PC2-4300 at 266MHz. And as you can see from the link, this new memory is PC2-5300 at 667MHz. Is there any way I can get this memory to work with the stock memory, or should I switch the new memory to the main sockets, or what? I'll take any suggestions but I'd rather not have to return it
