Memory problem

bohen44 · 01-12-2003, 02:16 PM

I have added memory in my computer. It was 256 became 512MB . Now I have a problem. When I start to play games ( like need for speed underground ) after 10-12 minutes the game is switched off . What is the problem ?

does the game work fine with 256MB? did this start when you got the new ram, if so it could be bad ram! anyone else?

What I'd do is try both sticks alone and in every slots, then both sticks at the same time with different slot configurations.

I would also suggest downloading Memtest86 (www.memtest86.com). You have to boot with it on a cd or a floppy and it runs tests on your RAM to see if it's good or not. If errors come up, then you know your memory is bad.

Also, are both sticks identical in brand and speed ?
