The difference in speed will be minimal due to the fact that the fastest memory will slow down to match the slower memory.
Corsair will help but i would take out old memory and just run the 2 gigs of new memory.
Game probably freezes due to the 1 gig of memory and\or the video is over working.

So in no way do you think its internet related?

[rshaffer61]

The system freezing?
I seriously doubt internet would cause the system itself to freeze.

Also im just wondering about power surges? when power goes out, or if i shut power bar, is that bad for computer?

[rshaffer61]

The best way is to disconnect power from wall completely when turning the system off.
This will prevent any kind of power going through the power strip or surge protector.
If your area is highly hit by power outages then it may be a good ideal to invest in a UPS to give you some time to shut the system down safely.

Hey i got my ram in, and im looking if you can explain in detail how to install it(anti static-remove-download,, etc.. )

[rshaffer61]

I'm not sure what you are asking about.
Anti static is usually a Velcro type wrist band you have on that grounds you.
Remove as in remove what?
Download as in what are you trying to download?

Alright so i got the 2gigs of ram today from UPS and installed it, it had a constant ring going like the one i told you about in the other post, i then reinstalled the ram and its frozed on start up? i then turned it around to try that but got the screan no signal. . . this is the only ram stick inside im trying? what can it be...

[rshaffer61]

Constant ring is usually a overheating problem.
Memory ring is usually a couple of beeps.
If your mobo has colored coded slots they have to be in the correct slots. If it is banked then there may be certain banks it needs ot be in.
Find bank 1 and put in one stick. Does it work then?

[dylan123]

Alright the ram in slot one says repair/start normally repair ended up freezing before it started ram slot 2 asked same thing and i choosed start up normally. AND GOT BLUE SCREEN, NOW IT RESTARTED... AND GAVE ME OPTION, SAFEMODE/SAFEMODE WITH NETWORKING, SAFE MODE WITH COMMAND PROMPT, START WINDOWS NORMALLY, BLUE SCREEN AGAIN SAYS. . '' SO I CHOOSED START NORMAL AGAIN AND ITS ALL BLACK WITH YELLO/WHITE/RED/BLUE PIXELS ONTOP?

[dylan123]

[dylan123]
