It's more likely that the two RAM sticks differ. I had a similar problem in a Windoze machine awhile ago. Move one stick of RAM into another bank, i.e. with 4 memory slots, use #1 and #3. If you only have 2 memory slots, return/sell what you have and buy 2 sticks at the same time. --My pid is Inigo Montoya. You killed -9 my parent process. Prepare to vi.
