When I reboot it goes back to normal. What is the problem??
thank you

It's not that the RAM is faulty but their is compatibility problem between both the RAM's.

The driver ati2dvag for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.
Thanx
Something I learnt from a computer guru: always blame the last piece of hardware or software you installed. Take the RAM out. If it goes back to normal, it's faulty.
