thanks for your help! I am building a new pc for a family member and read that this problem can happen so i want to install this update before i put the other 2gb ram in.

u need to set your ram's volt to v2.1 or 2.2.
you probably on default v1.8..see ocz website.

there should be a sticker on the ram, set your volts and timings to what this says. i had a lot of stability problems until i did this, everything else leave on AUTO

edit: do update the put 4GB in, and your away
