I recently had my comuter repaired and they changed my motherboard from the sig to M4A89GTD PRO/USB 3.0.

Basically I dont think they really took care of the ram timings and stuff. So far my computer has frozen once with a long beep noise and when playing metro 2033 it last about 5 mins on high settings with most stuff turned down.

Currently the ram modules I am using are 2x4gb

Module Size: 2 GB (2 ranks, 8 banks)
Module Name: Crucial CT25664BA1339.M16S
Memory Speed: DDR3-1333 (667 MHz)

Heres the motherboard info:

I dont have clue what this means so I'm hoping someone can help clear this up. I should mention I have no intrest in overclocking, I would just like the game to run well.

Also this ram module doesnt have its timings written on its sticker.
