Monitor to sleep/restart

[Froggy]

Hey guys

Ever since I installed new RAM, I've been getting a Charlie Foxtrot of monitor to sleeps, hangs, freezes, and auromatic restarts, I thought I recently fixed it, but I just got the error today. I got this auto restart by starting PR.

Thanks guys ??:

Your new ram probably doesn't match your old ram, try removing the new or old ram to see if that fixes it.

Ram should be installed in matching pairs (size/speed)to run well with out or fewer errors . Always put the fastest ram pair in the first bracket set (usually BLUE) Check your motherboards specks. Plus, if you need to buy ram, get the fastest your motherboard can handle. That way you have a better chance of being able to reuse it later if /when you upgrade.
Good luck

I second that, also it is possable if everything checks out that you got a bad stick of Ram.

Okay, I will try that. What about if I had two double packs, I only have three in now. I'll see.
