First of all are you sure you have installed RAM which is compatible with your computer?
You can compare the new RAM specifications with the one you already had on your computer. Check your user manuals.
You should also check the specification of the motherboard you have. Check what type of RAM is supported by your motherboard. Check your user manuals.
If you have everything correct, do this ...
Shut down computer completely, unplug the computer cable from wall socket. Open the computer case, remove all the RAMs and then one by one insert them back in and make sure they are all the way in the slots.
Once all the RAMs are inserted, power ON your computer. This time when you power on your computer, as soon as you press the power button to start computer, start tapping on DEL or F2 or F12 key (Depends which key allows you to access BIOS).
Once you are in BIOS, load the setup defaults. Please see on-screen instructions to load setup defaults. This will not do any harm to your computer, you wont loose any data/personal files. Once the setup defaults are loaded, Save changes and EXIT. (Before exiting, if you dont have a floppy drive on your computer, please turn off Diskette Drive from BIOS and if you have more than one Hard Drive, you may have to turn ON the second Hard Drive)
When you save changes and Exit, your computer will restart. Let the computer load all applications. Once again, check if your computer is freezing. If Yes, you may have to replace the new RAM you bought. There may be some problem with it.
Good Luck!

I looked at the specs and your board will run 800MHz ram. You 'could' have some bad ram sticks. Or, I suppose it's 'possible' a jumper needs to be set (have not seen this for quite a while actually). I suggest you look at the manual and see what it says about memory upgrades.
I suppose you could try other brands to see if they are more compatible but... time and $
Put the old mem back in and see if your problems go away.
If they do, I'd suggest staying at 667Mhz and just increase the mem size to 2G if thats what you want.
And yes, you should have seen an improvement when you doubled your ram size and increased the speed.

The memory that you replaced is very likely not compatible with your PC. Not all memory will work in all computers. If your PC is re-booting randomly it is probably because it is not writing to the memory stacks properly. This problem will NOT fix itself nor will it get better.

Sounds like there's some incompatibility going on. Why didn't you buy the exact same matching memory??? Best way to tell is to remove the new memory and see if the problem goes away.

The new ram may be bad... try checking it with Memtest and see is you get any errors.
