More RAM and now video problems

[Bob H]

I have just added another 256mb of Corsair ram to my already 512mb
Corsair ram, and altho' it checks out ok in the bootup screen ie 786mb
now, when I get into win2k, my colours are going orangey now and again
with lines. It does seem to only happen shortly after getting into
windows, and then looks like it is settling down to normal colours.

Ay ideas as to what this problem? might be? I have not altered the ram
timings at all from when I had just 512mb in, and it is the same Corsair
Value Select VS256MB400, as my other 2 sticks of 256mb.

Thanks

How do you mean, RAM on the graphics card itself?

Video on mainboard or is it an expansion card ( AGP/PCI )?

If you remove the new RAM does problem go away? Download memory test
and test the RAM. Have you tried removing and reseating the video card?

I tested my ram, all of it, with memtest, letting it run for about 40
mins or so, and no errors were found. Strangely enough, I have had this
problem once before after fitting in new ram sticks, and then the
problem went away, just like it has now!
No, directly after fitting a new 256mb stick of Corsair ram, on bootup
the screen was going funny colours, then in windows 2000, it was the
same again for a short while. Now there has been no problems for the
last 36 hours or so.

Thanks
