Hello everyone!
After 6 months i felt like upgrading, nothing much, 1 memory module 512MB for running my system in Dual DDR. The memory is exactly the same like the one i had allready installed (same chip, everything). Never had any stabillity issues!
After the installation everything seemed fine, windows loads up fine, lot's of benchmarks to check out the performance-nth much the usual 3%.BUT, wanted to try it during gameplay, well after a few minutes of playing HALO, i could see a sudden blue screen of death and the system restarted. Call of Duty couldn't save a game properly (wasn't getting the usual titles for every stage, just some EXE_stuff). I believed it had to do with those games since all my benchmarks run flawlessly (10 times repeat tests in 3DMark2001 and 2003).
The problem was not only there, while connected to the Internet the Explorer took a long time to open. The mouse buttons didn't have any effect on the taskbar icons and the Task manager showed a CPU usage of 100%. Every time the PC restarted after all these, i was getting the encounter error message from Windows XP about a Mini062404-01.dmp file and a sysdata.xml file all the time.
What can be causing this behaviour?Before i install the second memory module i never had any problem at all with my system. Could it be the PS? Would it help if i uninstalled the SP1? A BIOS setting? I would really need any advice, help on this, since it's really frustrating.
Any feedback on this would be really appreciated!
