Gigabyte Mainboard GA 845PE 667 Pro. I built this PC using 256 MB PC 2700 DDRRAM Matrix brand using Samsung DIMMS
The PC has been fast and stable. I have not tried overclocking.
I have tried to upgrade the RAM with another 256 MB to give a total of 512MB. But got system reboots instead. I tried in slots 2 and 3 - no luck.
I now have some RAM same as the original but a different batch. However, this has also given system freezes and reboots. I have tried this DIMM in slot 1 – no problems. Add in the original DIMM into slot 2 or 3 gives reboots and freezes even when no applications are running.
System details

I have asked Gigabyte but no answer.
Is the motherboard at fault or should I increase the DRAM voltage?
