| 676557 | 2008-06-09 01:22:00 | Hi Guys, Since I installed new RAM for the desktop pc it has been doing very weird things, my modem now is one of the troubles. When it finally connects to the internet it takes ages for the pages to load, if they load it is very very slow. Then when it does not want to connect to pages it kicks me of the internet...the drivers are al up to date!! I even called our internet provider but everything seems to be fine and ok! So my last and only thing that I can think about is that the modem is on its way out! |

It is possible that you have a dodgy mem module. I always look to what changed just before a problem arises. HH |

| 676559 | 2008-06-09 01:55:00 | Hi Happy harry Yes these problems started when new ram was installed, I had 2 DDR400 sticks of 256 and traded them in for a brand new 1 gig ram. (also DDR400) I can not go back to the 2 new sticks because i have traded them in. I did a full pc test and said nothing is out of the ordinary. Just seems very strange this is happening... |

| 676560 | 2008-06-09 02:08:00 | What are the other "troubles" you said you are having? | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 676561 | 2008-06-09 02:24:00 | uhmm, it seemed computer has "slowed" down, like it takes some while to start up, also the computer used to shut of by itself, now it tells me that it's ready to be turned of and I have to push the on/off button. | mark1978 (13845) | ||
| 676562 | 2008-06-09 02:57:00 | Might be the PSU why its telling you, you can turn it off, instead of it shutting off | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 676563 | 2008-06-09 03:00:00 | Is you system recognizing all the new memory? Is the mobo capable of supporting 1GB? Did you do anything else when you installed the memory? |

| 676564 | 2008-06-09 03:27:00 | Hi Guys, This link is for my motherboard: global.msi.com.tw What I meant with shutting down was that when you decide to turn your computer of I go, start, shut down....computer is shutting down....and then the pc will turn itself of.......but now......I have to turn it of myself! it says "It is safe now to turn of your computer" |

| 676565 | 2008-06-09 03:52:00 | it says "It is safe now to turn of your computer" Do a malware scan for the slow net problem. This: support.microsoft.com for the shutting off problem. |

| 676566 | 2008-06-09 03:52:00 | So it's a MSI-6533. Yes we understand what you mean with the shut down, just have to figure out what you have done to cause it. It looks like it should support the memory. Would you like to answer my other 2 questions please? |
