Since memory has become quite cheap lately I decided to move from 2 GB to 6. When I installed the memory every thing was fine until I went to run level 5. At that point the screen turned to garbage and the system froze. Is there a way to fix this so I can use the memory I bought? Do I need a new display card?
Current hardware:
Intel D975XBX2 Motherboard VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV505 [Radeon X1550 64-bit]
That sounds pretty strange. Have you confirmed that removing the "new" memory allows you to run in runlevel 5 again?
If so, maybe you need to adjust some memory timing settings in BIOS.
