Post-Upgrade issues

I upgraded the RAM in my HP a810n PC from 1 x 512 PC3200 DDR SDRAM to 1.5 GB (keeping that 512 stick and adding a 1GB stick). I used crucial.com to help me find a compatible stick. It may be worth noting that the computer uses integrated graphics (doesn't have its own video card) so the memory appears a bit less than it is (384mb when I had the 512 only, 1.37GB now).

After the upgrade, I can notice a great speed upgrade. However, the computer has crashed and automatically restarted a couple times. I was able to extract this from the crash window when it restarted.

Code: 
BCCode : 24     BCP1 : 001902FE     BCP2 : BAD0B9D4     BCP3 : BAD0B6D0     
BCP4 : 805298D5     OSVer : 5_1_2600     SP : 3_0     Product : 768_1    


C:\DOCUME~1\HP_Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERf603.dir00\Mini022710-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\HP_Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERf603.dir00\sysdata.xml

Also, programs like Firefox 3.6 and Ccleaner are crashing. Any help???
 
Just to update, the computer itself crashes semi-frequently. And so do various programs at random times.

I ran the PC Doctor program memory test and it failed both the pattern test and advanced pattern test.

And firefox crashes as I was writing this but thank god for its restoration haha.
 
you shoulda got a matching 512mb stick or just run the 1gb by it self. test the sticks by them self then sell the 512mb or rma it if its bad. might need to adjust voltage or timing
 
Download Memtest86+ v2.11 or whatever the latest version is, unzip it, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it, just like you would do with the XP/Vista install CD. Let Memtest+ run for at least three hours on each stick of RAM separately as well as test the RAM all together. Go for a full 24 hours if you want to be completely sure that the RAM is not a problem. If you start seeing errors, than your RAM is defective or you have incorrect settings for the RAM.
 
Didn't get a chance to do the memtest yet.

I ran my PC doctor program with both sticks in it and it failed both the pattern tests. Then I tried it with only the new 1gb stick and the tests passed fine.

However, the computer still is crashing/automatically restarting occasionally, and the error report cites those same 2 files I have in the code in the first post.
 
Also don't know if this helps but here is some info on my system with the new 1GB stick in without the origional 512 (which is causing the computer to still frequently crash).

Also, the 1GB stick I bought from the crucial scan is a 1GB 184-PIN UNBUFF DIMM 128MX64 DDR PC3200 Pb-Free
