STRANGEST PROBLEM IN MY LIFE , Help ??

[icy_ice]

Hi all
I dunno if this problem is related to software or hardware , but i'm kinda hopeless so i'll try anythin
My System Was Working All fine Then i Bought A new RAM Chip and it was DDR and my previous one Was SDRAM and they told me that i can't run both types at the same time so i took off the sdram and put in the ddr one , then when windows xp tries to open after the loading screen it auto restart " power off and then on again "
when i run the windows in safe mode it works all fine , so i supposed its not missfunction from the new Ram
i formated my drive and re-installed windows xp from a bootable CD and i was using my New DDR Ram and everythin worked fine
now when i'v tried to install my Graphic Card Driver it tells me this driver ddin't pass the windows logo verify test , knowing that this is the same driver i'v been using before i format my PC
if i continued installing my PC Restarts from itself , I installed windows 2000 and the same happened but w/o the windows verify test thing
i installed the latest drivers but the same thing happens
i re-installed my windows , now it install the driver w/o the logo verifiy test thing but it restart anyway and doesn't install the driver
now the strange thing When i took off my DDR ram and put the old SDRAM LOL the Windows Works Fine with my graphic Card and install teh drivers perfectly , and when i put the DDR i un-install the drivers to run my windwos normally again
My Graphic Card is MSI Geforce FX 5200
Intel Celeron 2ghz , the New DDR is 256mb The Old SDRAM is 128 MB
please if any1 got any clue of anythin i can do i'll be very thanksfull
Alot OF thanks in advance

Perhaps you could explain to the OP why they should change their OS.


Seems to me the best solution here is not to use the DDR RAM module.

Hi, Typically any Mother Board with slots for two kinds of Memory can not run correctly with both types of memory installed. Check the MB manual and it will tell you the same thing. Luck, Jim
