Ram problems

daddyo44 · 02-28-2009, 10:19 PM

Ok so i currently have 1gb ddr2 pc4200 ram in my computer 2x512

I want to upgrade to 2gb 2x1

I got my first set of ram plugged it in, it ran fine for a couple hours then my comp would just restart as soon as it hit the windows xp loading page.

And a short while ago i exchanged it for a different set, and i couldnt even get the computer to boot on with that set.

Any ideas?

I know that each of the ram that i have used/am using is the same specs.

If it ran for two hours...then the problem is not the RAM...Maybe the power supply...Brand name and wattage Please?

Its a generic brand psu 400watts, but if its not the ram then what is it, because i can start my computer in safe mode, but if i start it in regular it just restarts when it hits the xp loading screen.

What brand and models of the PC and the Ram your using?
Did you reinstall the original ram(512x2)? Does run ok with that in?
