Processor overheating after Ram upgrade.

Computer freezes while working.

I upgraded my ram.. replaces 2gb of 667mhz ram with 6gigs of 800mhz ram. The computer runs smoothly but now the processor seems to overheat and freeze everything.
Intel core2quad processor.

How are mesuring CPU temperature?

I would be more likely to blame the RAM since that is what you added ... Unless you knocked the CPU heatsink loose while installing the RAM.

How much voltage is that RAM running? Do you have voltages adjusted manually or everything on auto? RAM can raise the CPU temp, depending on what it's running on. Might want to check the voltages on the RAM. I experienced this when I OC'd my RAM as I had to raise the Voltages from 1.35 to 1.55 Volts to get it to run at 2133Mhz.
