My first Computer had a Whopping 16K of memory @ 0.89MHz. My first hard drive held 20 Megabytes and never filled up.
My Oldest Motherboard and Hard Drive are a 80286 @ 8Mhz and a Seagate 20 Megabyte MFM drive.

Thx for the reply. Yes I`ve gone back to the original set-up and it works fine. I`ve got a HP/Compaq CQ1140ukRevert back to the old memory configuration and see if it is still crashing or not.
It could be a coincidence that the crashing started with the memory upgrade, that is why reverting to the old configuration will be a diagnostic for that.
It is possible for the memory to be good and still not be completely compatible with your hardware. That is why the first and best test in my opinion is reverting to what was working as a test.
If no problems with the old setup, then try a different brand of memory or check with the computer maker for recommendations.
Certain brands are know to be picky.
Or you can post make and model of computer or if non brand name make & model of motherboard.
Cheers
Roger
