Hello. Have been trying to upgrade my Dell Dimension E310 until I can afford a newer system. I recently put in a 3.4 Ghz Prescott processor, and has been working fine at 3-4 weeks now. I also wanted to upgrade the memory from 2 GB to 4GB, and I know this is possible as I know of at least 2 others who have done this. I know that PC2-5300 is recommended, but also know that PC2-6400 will also work. Well, I ordred a 4GB set of OCZ Titanium series 2GB each dual channel sticks of memory. They are 4-4-4. My system beeped at start-up with the screen stating that system memory has been changed. It starts up, and looks like it is booting fine, but before I can enter my password, it goes to a blue screen, and reboots. This happens several times, and sometimes in between those occurences it goes to the black screen stating an error has occured, and would I like to work in safe mode, start windows normally, or start from last known working config, etc. I tried staring normally, last known good config, and safe mode...no go. Eventually my machine goes through chkdsk which I allow it to do, no errors, reboots, gets to area for me to enter my password, and bam,,,blue screen again, and reboot. I went into set-up at one point, and memory shows up fine 4GB, 2GB in dimm1, 2GB dimm 2. I checked the event log, and shows on today the system memory changed, but also shows several "keyboard errors" on today as well. I have started to run out of patience with this machine, and need to figure out what is going on. I am up and running, (as you can see), after putting in my old PC2-5300 2GB total memory. Maybe this is just a coincidence, but my keyboard is very sluggish when using backspace, and never noticed that before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way the part number is OCZ2T800C44GK. Thanks
