i just installed a new gtx260 gpu, 4bg ram,500gb sata HD,750w power supply and sometimes when playing games all of a sudden the screen goes blank and it says (no signal) and the cpu fan speeds up?
i then have to restart the pc.i have installed all drivers and the only one issue i can think of is my ram are not the same speeds one is 555 and the other is 666 i think. but i cant see this being the problem,
if anyone has had a simular problem please advise?
thank you
 
Yes. Set your memory speed to the slowest stick. Then, if you still have problems, increase the RAM volt .1 volts. If you still have problems, drop the timings some more - go from 5-5-5-15 to 6-6-6-18 for example.

If you STILL have problems, buy some matching memory.

Alot of the time more RAM running slightly slower is better then less RAM running slightly faster.
