Before you start tweaking voltages and replacing PSUs you better test your *new* memory modules thoroughly, even if that means that you will be using your old machine for a day or so. Personally I usually remove all memory modules and then test one at a time overnight with memtest 86+. If it gives any errors at all I would send it back to the shop. If they all pass, then voltage and PSU issues will need to be looked at. Good luck. -- Regards, Mick
