Hello, I ran into a problem where my computer reboots, when I installed two new Samsung 128 MB PC800 Non-Ecc RDRAM. I am currently using Windows XP for my OS. This is my hardware list. ABIT TH7-RAID Mainboard 128 MB x 2 Samsung PC 800 Non-ECC RDRAM Product # MR16R082BN1-CK8 40 GB Maxtor Hard drive LG 24x DVD 20-40-10 Yamaha CDR Radeon 7200 DDR - 64 MB Soundblaster Audigy When I installed the new ram, listed above, the product numbers for both 128 ram is MR16R082BN1-CK8IN, The IN is the only difference, and I am not sure what why that is. My inital setup on my mainboard for memory was as follows RIMM A1 - 128MB RIMM B1 - 128MB RIMM A2 - C-RIMM Module RIMM B2 - C-RIMM Module Im my BIOS RDRAM Bus frequency was set to auto. When I installed the new RAM the layout was intially as follows RIMM A1 - 128MB RIMM B1 - 128MB RIMM A2 - 128MB (New) RIMM B2 - 128MB (New) Im my BIOS RDRAM Bus frequency was set to auto. I restarted my computer, Window XP loaded, and five minutes later, it rebooted. Each time I loaded XP, got to my desktop, never fail the system rebooted. I changed my BIOS RDRAM Bus frequency was set to 300Mhz. Restarted, and after 20 minutes the computer rebooted. I changed my ram layout to RIMM A1 - 128MB RIMM B1 - 128MB (New) RIMM A2 - 128MB RIMM B2 - 128MB (New) Restarted, and after 2 hours it rebooted. Restarted, and after 20 minutes it rebooted. Restarted, and after 4 hours it rebooted. I pulled out my old ram, and just installed the new ram. Restarted, and from this point the computer has not rebooted. From what I have gathered the new ram seems fine, however the problem eludes me. Could it be Windows XP, do I have to re-install the flakey OS? Anyone else come up with a similar problem? Thank you, Peter Dragun
