Are your GPU Drivers up to date?

Have you overclocked your GPU?

YUP!, found out what the problem is.... the molex to PCI-E are cheap and the wires are burnt up.... i confirmed this by testing it manually...... the GPU is juust fine ordered a better pair of the connectors.. any ideas on how to get the pins out of the connector?????maybe i could fix something wid that.............

It might be worthwhile upgrading to a CX500 Power Supply. I'm currently using it and it has a few PCI-E Connectors included.

You may want to run memtest for each block of ram. Remember that it can take alot of time before RAM produces an error even though it's faulty so even if both seems fine seperately it may not be the case. Did you do anything else recently with the PC? Upgrading CPU or similar?
Anyway RAM is not that expensive so you may want to consider buying two ned 4 GB Corsair Vengance for example. Those are pretty cheap.

Mahisse :

Yup did a MemTest seperately on alternative slots

no problemo

. but together it shows some error

.

What about the timing of the RAMS? Are they identical as well? You should always try to use RAM from same manufacture. Using RAM from different manufactures, even though they should be identical can lead to alot of errors. I can't really think of anything else than upgrading to identical RAM sticks from same manufacture.

Mahisse :

Am not Soo sure about the timings mate, care to look at this??? these are the two things am using r8 now...

Corsair

Transcend

they seem to be of the same timings...

EDIT:

Yup will upgrade soon.
planning to go for a 8gb corsair vengeance is this G-skill a good brand?????

Doesn't seem so

Corsair
6-7-8-9 CAS Latency

Transcend
9-9-9 CAS Latency

I would not expect those two sticks to work well with each other.

Yeah those are excellent RAM for a fair price and enough for your needs I'd reckon.
