Windows 7 RAM crash
Hey!
I've bought a stick of Corsair 1Gb DDR2 800MHz desktop gaming RAM the other day as a nice simple upgrade to my system.
I added the new RAM into my system and when Windows 7 booted, I logged in and after about 1-2 minutes of being logged in Windows 7 crashed.
The CPU usage was low, my harddrives are fine. When I take the stick out my system still works fine. Also my system works in safe mode with the stick in. My motherboard Bios and under "Properties" on My Computer both show 3Gb of memory but the system crashes when I boot it up normally.
This could be a rookie mistake for all I know as i'm not very good with hardware compatibility.
Any help you could give would be great thanks.
P.S. I've got the specs to my PC to the best of my knowledge and my pc has been stable until now.
