PC Problem.

[Matt7613]

Hey,

The other day I installed some new RAM, when It came to turning the PC on everything was fine and XP began to load.

I noticed after 10 minutes there was a problem, as XP was still loading. Eventually after 2 hours of trying, XP loaded, and I logged onto my account, which took 15 minutes. Ever since then I've had nothing but trouble.

When I am playing music, it will suddenly start to Stutter and then the whole system will crash . I can't really do anything, with out the system crashing!

Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Thanks,

Matt.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the replies.

I have tested the ram, and 1 stick is faulty. I have 2GB ram running atm and the problem still stands, so could it be the motherboard?

Mobo: Abit QuadGT
RAM: Crucial 2GB PC2-5200 667MHZ.

Thanks,

Matt.

Hi,

I can't even get XP to start loading now, I get a message saying "Disk Read Error" does this mean the HD has gone aswell?

Thanks,

Matt.
