Comment: After installing an extra 2gb of RAM the system locks up and displays the BSoD when applications such as Battlefield 2 or Windows Media Player for example are started up. Intel Pentium D 2.66 Ghz
1 Gb Ram (2x612's)
Nvidia 7300 256 mb Thanks

Reply: (edit)What type of RAM did you install? You should be installing DDR2 PC2-5300, PC2-4200. Windows XP SP2 will only utilize 3 to 3.5 GB. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
