this crap is driving me completely nuts. I purcahsed an emachines (yeah i know) system about two months ago. It came with two 512 sticks of ram and has two slots total. I purchased two sticks of corsair value ram at 1 gig a piece. After installing them the pc would suddenly freeze up for about two minutes every so often and then return to normal. I thought these sticks were faulty so i returned them. I purchased matched set of patriot ram and i am experiencing the same problems. I am completely out of suggestions with this problem. Does anyone know of something i can change in the Bios or in vista to help me with this problem?

btw the model is a T5230. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
 
have you looked in the bios to see if the ram settings are to tight
ps a little more detail about the system cpu,ram,etc.
 
Well, telling us more about your specs I.e: Ram speed of your pc ram and Ram speed of your new Ram, maybe they are different speeds and its incompatible.

sorry guys, i should have been more specific. the old and new ram is pc5300/ddr2 667. the processor is an athlon 64x2. I checked the bios and surprisingly there are no settings for the memory that i can change :(

I have used memtest, memtest86+ and windows memory diagnostic tool and they all come back clear with zero errors in the memory.
