    I'm running a P4 3.0 Hyperthreaded CPU on an ABIT VT7. I had 2 corsair 512mb memory sticks and just added 2 PNY 512 mb and it keeps rebooting for no reason. Sometimes it will go for a couple hours, other times a few minutes. Obviously it is due to new memory but was wondering if there is something I'm missing before I return it. Any suggestions?

    try the 2 new sticks without the old sticks to see if still a problem or they just don't like each pair.

    seems the corsair and PNY just don't play well together, at least that's my conclusion after many slot switches and flip flops. Guess I'll take this back and get 2 more corsairs.
