Hi
Nothing on my motherboard says anything about memory
Label on motherboard says it is foxconn 945G7MC-KS2H
I cant find any info on this
Crucial memory scanner id it as 945G7MC-KRS2H max 4GB
So installed 2x2GB but have lost video output
So if it may only support 2GB max if this is the case will having installed 4GB cause any damage?

Thanks

Not trying to be rude, but have you googled the MB? http://www.computerusermanual.com/user-manuals/Foxconn-945G7MA8KS2H-User-Manual.html

Hi
That is a KS2HV mines has no V
one of the foxconn sites says the only way to identify reliably is the label on MB

I have Googled 945G7MC-KS2H which is what MB label says it is
nothing of any relevance I havee emailed Foxconn but not holding my breath

Short answer, yes. The more power required to run your ram the more strain it puts on the ram controller. Do ram controllers fail sometimes? You bet they do.
