My Pc is having some weird problem that when the graphic card is connected and only 1 slot having 1GB RAM is connected on the board than all things work fine.
But as soon as I attatch other 1 GB of RAM in the second slot, the problem starts.
Problem is: The PC sometimes properly starts but then the displays goes OFF(No SIGNAL INPUT) and ON and then gives an error of display driver stopped working and has recovered successfully. While sometimes It doesn't even reach to the welcome screen but only et stuck on the starting windows screen with frozen screen.

My PC specification:
2GB RAM( 2slots both having 1GB DDR2 RAM)
windows 7 ultimate
intel Core 2 duo 2.13Ghz
Nvidia En210 silent 1GB graphics card (with latest driver)

What I have already done is:
-I have already checked to install the latest as well as some older version of the display driver for graphic card
-I has checked both the RAMs individually as well as in both the slots.
-Graphic card also works as I mentioned.
But still don't know whats exatly the problem is when both RAMs and the card are connected at the same time.

That's a very old card, so it's entirely possible that it's just the card. More likely though is power. What is the model number and brand of your power supply. Removing all but one stick of RAM would decrease power consumption and therefore not have a problem when only one stick is installed, potentially anyhow. Lack of adequate power almost always affects the graphics and memory before other hardware as they tend to pull the most.

thanks for your reply buddy,
The problem is solved,
Although the model of card is old but the card is new (not even a year old).
and It wasn't an issue of power supply, it was the BIOS settings which were configured wrong, So I changed it to FAIL-SAFE default and now PC is working perfectly OK.

Actually, the fail safe defaults setting probably dropped your memory settings to something low enough to not be problematic. This probably is not the desired configuration. However, if it's working fine for you, and if the memory profiles are showing up with the correct settings that do in fact match your memory modules, then it's probably ok.

If those memory modules were not exact and matching modules, there could possibly have been differences in the speed, latency or voltage requirements of each module that were causing incompatibilities. If the modules were identical, then it might still have been a power issue as the fail safe default settings were likely to result in lower performance configurations that were less of a demand on the system. Either way, if it's working for you and you're happy with it, good luck.
