PC freezing when I added more memory

[PCtechie]

I added 2 more gigs of patriot memory tonight and my PC keeps locking up. I tried adding just the 2 new sticks and everything worked fine. Once i add all 4 sticks my PC lockes up after about 10-15 mins. memory timings are 4-4-4-12. Any ideas?

I just had to manually change my timings to 4-4-12 2T and my voltage to 2.2v. Just as an FYI.

I have those RAM. 4GB of them too.

I think your voltages are too high, I use 2.0V only.

Running 4 sticks is more challenge for the MOBO then 2. You often have to slow down or relax timings. Sounds like you found a nice compromise there.
