What happens when it restarts? I mean, does the screen just go blank and a second later you see RAM counting or what? Also when it starts up again does it complain about you not shutting windows down properly?

that definately sounds like a ram issue. you need to return that ram and get it replaced, and you might have the wrong type of ram in there...what kind are you running? did you check the mobo book to make sure that the ram is compatible. there should be a compatible ram table in the booklet

It wouldn't fit in the slot if it was the wrong type....

It's possible that you fried them when you took them out if you didn't ground yourself and put them an anti-static bag.



Definitely post your problem here: http://www.hardforum.com

Someone probably has had the same problem or at least know what's causing it.
