fix the ram in other slot this may work AND use a software to test ur ram works fine \nhere is a link from microsoft gives details about blue screen \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/winxp?sid=1409\ntry to get the error message from "system events" under computer management

check the CPU usage. if your ranning winXP, go to the task manager.\n\nit depends also on the size of your RAM!

read your motherboard configuration.......or install xpmanager on your operating system

Best to buy new PC because Windows XP requires about 512 MB RAM to function efficiently. If you have that much then I would recommend reformatting, it might be better for performance.

If you upgrade from a pentium 3 to a pentium 4  but didn't to a fresh install of windows you should definitly update your screencard, sound card and motherboard drivers.\n\nYour next option might be to make sure that your current ram is 100% compatible with your motherboard and also make certain that there are no problems with your ram.\n\nAlso turn off automatic restarts in XP, so that you can see what information is displayed when the error occurs. To disable autoimatic restarting in windows XP goto control panel (instructions are for the classic view). Open SYSTEM and CLICK on the ADVANCED tab. under the section STARTUP AND RECOVERY click the SETTINGS button. Uncheck the combo box labeled AUTOMATICALLY RESTART in the SYSTEM FAILURE section.\n\nAfter that if you recieve a blue screen you can record the information there. If will also tell you where the minidump is stored, you can contact me and i'll give you my email adress so you can send me the minidump for debuging. EDIT: the blue screen should give you an indication of where to start looking for the problem, i.e. what driver it could be.\n\nIf you dont see a blue screen upon restarting it's more likely a hardware problem. this could be due to a underpower system, faulty power supply, corrupted ram or some other hardware major hardware problem. \n\nTo check the ram goto http://www.memtest86.com or if you have a linux boot cd lying around it might give you the option to run memtest from it.

go to your manufacturers website, or the website manufacturer of the motherboard, and enter the model number and search for specifications.  It may also be in your manual.  Today's comptrs usually take 4gb RAM.\n\nYeah if u just want to know what u got now do as above.  What I've said is to give u the maximum capacity.

no i dont suggest you to use both the rams bcz 512 ram is 33mhz and 124 ram is 133mhz the data transfer rate is different in both the rams.  your system will be hanged frequently so. dont use both.

Try a different power supply and see if you still get the problem.. \n\nAlso check your memory (ram). There are some programs to do that the first one that comes to my mind is memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/\n\n\ngood luck!

no need for another 1gb ram, is that brand new one if yes go back to the store and return it and if you have an old one installed and trying to add a new one maybe your memory old and new are not compatible to each other pls  check if is the  same brand , model and frequency, any of these indefference can cause you malfunction in your pc.

The technical answer... DIMM = Dual Inline Memory Module.  DDR = Double Data Rate.  Really, they are independant of each other.  To really confuse you, DDR (and DDR2 for that matter) memory comes on a DIMM.  The DIMM can have different configurations, and as mentioned already... different speeds, different timings, etc etc.  So, the answer is not a simple one.  The best thing to do, as mentioned already, is to check your motherboard manual to figure out what kind of memory will work.  If you bought a "manufactured" PC from a big company, this may not be in your manual.  You may have to go to a memory manufacture's website to figure it out.  See my link in the Sources section below.\n\nThanks,\n\nGraham.

The difference is one will not fit in the other. You need to find out what your motherboard takes and that is what you want to get. If you own a Dell or a store bought computer like that then their web page should get you straght as to what to get. Yes it does matter what you put in the damn slot and can mean improving your computers speed or slowing it down, even if you are adding more RAM. Just a little note, 2 gigs of Ram is a good idea espically if you plan to upgrade to Vista after it is released.

This behavior may occur if one of the following conditions is true: \n• One or more of the random access memory (RAM) modules that are installed on your computer are faulty. \n• The RAM configuration is incompatible with Windows XP. \n\nMake sure your RAM is inserted properly and try restarting. If you recently put new ram in, that could be the probably or one of your sticks of ram have fried.

If the computer makes a couple beeps when it starts up that could mean that the memory is wrong, so if does check that you properly reseated the memory module in the correct slot. If it is running in dual channel the sticks need to be in the correct dual channel slots (usually blue)

actually.. you need not..\nfirst check whether you have inserted your ram correctly in the right position..\nif the problem is not solved replace your ram

If you have an empty slot them you can add another stick of RAM.  Make sure it's the same kind.  You can easily trade out your old CDROM for a CDROM/RW.  Just pull the old one out and replace it with the new one.  You can pick up PC parts really cheap from eBay.

You need more RAM.\n\nYou might also be under-clocked. Check to see:\n(1) Right click on My Computer\n(2) Look at "Computer:" What's your processor speed say there?\n\nTo reclock or overclock your computer go into BIOS and change you multiplier. Your processor speed is (i think) front side bus times the multiplier. Sometimes mine gets underclocked some how, and I have to go in and fix it. (133mhz X 15 = 2.0ghz).\n\nAlso, you can add some more Virtual RAM. To do this,\n(1) Right click on My Computer\n(2) Click on the Advanced tab\n(3) Under Performance, click on Settings\n(4) Click on the Advanced tab\n(5) Under Virtual Memory, click on Change\n\nThis lets you allocate DRIVE SPACE and turn it into virtual memory.\n\nYou should also turn off junk running in the background.\n\n(1) CTL-ALT-DELETE\n(2) How many processes is your computer running? My Win XP machine runs with as little as 16 processes. \n\nTurn off start-up programs:\n(1) Run this program: msconfig\n(2) Click on the Start Up tab\n(3) Turn off everything you don't NEED\n(4) If you don't know, try turning it off (it really can't hurt your machine)\n(5) Now click on the Services tab\n(6) Click on Hide All Microsoft Services\n(7) Turn off everything you don't NEED\n\nRun Adware/Spyware destroyers. Try Spybot: Search and Destroy. (I linked it for you)\n\nMaintaining a good computer is like maintaining a good car.\nI hope something there helps!
