One possibility may have to do with the memory timings of the old vs |
20 |
new memory. If the BIOS gives any manual control over the CAS, RAS, |
21 |
etc timings, you might try increasing them. I had to do this with my |
22 |
AMD64 desktop system, even though the memory modules were matched. |

They just would not run stable at the rated settings... |
