DDR MEMORY HANGS PC

Check the cards on the board to make sure they are seated properly

Check the cables to see if they are secure

Take the memory out and try a different orientation depending on the memory size,then make sure that memory is seated secrely in slots

Check the motherboard manual to make sure thatmemory is compatible with the motherboard

I had the same problem with that mobo. I needed a larger power supply. I installed it into a new case with a 300 watt power supply (mine was 250) and didn't have any more trouble. With the XP processor, I would recommend 350 or 400 watt, depending on how many other devices you have.

Hope this helps....
