Try searching on http://www.kingston.com - you can look up your computer and they'll tell you how much RAM it will take and what type.

dear umbro5102

for the inspection of the ram first. open the ram cover and remove your ram, the ram rubbing the copper with fire (if you have the new ram (or ram a 100% work) is even better.
re-enter your ram and see what happens (if still no change)
open your hard disk and connect it using the external casing and then scanned with the use of effective anti-virus. when everything is complete, reinstall the hard disk and see what happens.
if it still happens you have to do repairs and inspections are more serious again.
These things usually happen because of hardware or software problems
please call again for more information

thanks and regards
