Hello Everybody

i've upgraded my old pc to the following
processor: Intel E5700 dual core
motherboard: Gigabyte G41MT-S2P
ram DDR3 : 2 x 2 GB kingston - KVR1333D3N9/2G

i already have Gigabyte Nvidia 9400 GT 512 MB DDR2 card
the problem was that my upgraded pc hangs many times during playing games and after i removed one piece
of the rams to be only 2 GB , the pc performance become more better, what should i do ...
to use only one piece of the memory or to upgrade my Nvidia card to DDR3 ... help me guys

Well maybe the ram was bad! the ram on the GPU had nothing to do with it.

Did you try switching them around with each other to see if that makes a difference? I would try 1 stick and if it runs good I would switch them out and try the second stick. See if one or the other doesn't work like it's supposed to or is it only when they run as a pair in dual channel. Could be a bad stick or could be a bad ram socket on your new motherboard. You should run memtest. As rolli59 suggests. it might be a bad stick of ram. Since it's new ram and a new mobo you will need to check them both? Are you running a 64 or 32 bit system? Shouldn't make a difference as far as the hanging but I'm curious.
