I'am onyl going from 512 to 1 gb. that is all it will take I know that but why is it doing that? Is there something wrong with one or both of them?

How did you determine which memory module would work with your computer?

What antistatic precautions did you take when handling the memory module.

Was it a new brand name memory module that was factory sealed?

Danny5,

Some additional thoughts:

Does it lock up regardless of what programs you're running, or only with a specific program? Maybe the fault doesn't lie with the memory. Have you installed anything new or made any system configuration changes?

Have you run Memtest+ on it?

Are the power supply and ventilation adequate? Are the temperatures ok?

Above is the source of my confusion.

Now then, you say you "got the write cards", but did you really? What are the specs? What slots are you using?

I got it from T D look it up on there get the rite part locator it said thisis what my PC takes and thatmy PC would only upgrade to 1gb. PC lock up in any progam. No I did not do a memtest+. Iput them in the same slots that the old ones were in.the bran name is Corsair value select 512MB PC2700 ddr 333 mhz. I've had this PC for about 5 years can't locate info and don't know the spec on it. don't know the tempture of the PC. You must put both cards in together rite, I did that.
