Hi, i wonder if anyone can help? I bought a new computer recently and i decided to add another 512MB ram to it? At the moment it has two sticks of 256 3200 400Mhz Ram in it, there is room for two more sticks of ram.. I put in the new stick of 512 3200 400mhz and tried putting it in both slots and when i turn on my computer an error "system failed due to cpu overclocking" sounds... how do i get around this problem and successfully get the ram working? Thanks

You may have exceeded the RAM limit for PC3200 modules. Are you overclocking this machine?

Most likely the 512MB you just added is unregistered, if it is you need to swap it for a registered chip.

I thought only the Athlon FX's need registered memory? (not Athlon 64's)
