I have a 500W power supply and the following setup:
Four hard drives - 800G total
AMD BE-2300 X2 Athlon chip on ECS Nforce6 motherboard.
Radeon 2600XT video card.
sound card
IDE controller card
1G memory in 2 DIMMS (2G total.)
With the above setup, everything works fine.
But if I install 2 more 1G memory DIMMs, the system becomes unstable. (Eventually windows goes into blue screen.)
The memory I installed is the exact same model and make as what was previously in there. I'm wondering if there simply isn't enough power for the new memory. Is this possible? Does memory take up a lot of power?
