I have a Seanix SiS-650 motherboard and it had 2 x 256MB DDR PC2100 Unbuffered Non-ECC RAM. The brand was Apacer. Never had any problems with that. I just replaced those with 2 x 512MB DDR PC2100 Unbuffered Non-ECC RAM. And the brand of RAM is Kreton.
When i'm now running programs that use lots of RAM my computer will automatically reboot. Sometimes it will reboot right after startup. I have noticed that my auto DRAM Timings stayed the same as I switched the RAM except for the CL which on the Apacer RAM was 2. On the new Kreton memory it's 2.5. So I tried putting all the DRAM Timings to there highest setting which was 3-4-4-6 and I still got automatic reboots. In prime95 I ran the torture test and I get a hardware failure after a minute. Nothing in my computer is overclocked.
What could the problem be? I was thinking I may have a motherboard incapatability with this new RAM or maybe my BIOS needs updating or something to detect the new RAM. Should I try taking 1 of the sticks of 512MB out and see what happens? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
