    Hello all i wondered if anyone can help me. I recently upgraded the ram in my 5315 with 2x1GB 5300 DDR2 sticks. Ever scince i did the upgrade i have had the Memory Management Blue screen about once every 3days. The sitcks are installed correctly and ive even tried swapping the order of the sitcks in the slots and i still have this problem. Can anyone shed some light on this?
    All help is much apriciated.

    PS. running Vista Basic 32-Bit

    Maybe the RAM is defective.. Get Memtest86+ and test it for an hour or so.

    The zip from Memtest86+ when extracted is a bootable iso, you have to burn it onto CD and startup your computer using the CD.
