13 I ran into a similar issue when it went from 512M -> 1G. Same brand
14 RAM, speeds, etc. I was slightly overclocking at the time and I ended
15 up fixing things by going back to spec'd speeds. Make sure you're not
16 pushing the envelope - no guarantees when you do that and sometimes a
17 hardware change can keep that from working like it used to.

19 Sounds like a motherboard issue of some kind - maybe some kind of timing
20 setting will fix it. Don't ask me what half of those settings do, though...
