System:
was 256mb corsair pc3200 now 512mb with the same corsair + 1 kingston pc2700
AthlonXP 1800+
350w power supply
4 case fans (1 back intake near processor, 1 blowhole, others near bottom one 120mm blowing on vid card)
GeForce DDR 32mb

The problem is that in some games (mechcommander 2 and Jedi Outcast sometimes)my computer freezes where no keyboard commands work no sound or screen updates, except for mouse.
There is no interaction between the mouse and the game just the ability to move it.
This happened more often with the 1 stick than two.
It occurs in mech.. around half an hour after starting to play, with 2 sticks around 45 min.
Could it be that part of the corsair is bad and it just takes longer to use teh certain part that is bad with another stick available.

test memory with a tester prog but I doubt it, it is more likely software related, whan was last time you rebuilt your OS (what OS do you have,latest OS/components drivers ???)
What board do you have ??
try unplugging some of your casefans & see what happens (could B power related)
could just be the game not quite liking the OS, had similar prob with my system in Mech4 Mercs, I put it down to GFX card too hot, bad airflow (but then I have a 9700pro)...


Hmmm, wonder if I can get a valid page fault ???
these invalid ones are far too commonplace...
