ok so if i go into system information is says physical memory availible 512 and physical memory used 384....

does that mean anything? i think i am just going to buy two new sticks of corsair ram and sell this stick on ebay, i dont think its bad i just dont think my computer likes it

i think the ram bit the dust, i cant boot past post code 50 which is where the bios recognizes the computer and ram, it shows the computer and then freezes up :( i just ordered some new ram off newegg, hopefully it will do better
