The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

Well, so long as it works for now, good luck with it, but be careful with those ram sticks. >.< They can hurt your pocket if you can't get around their compatability problems.

I've found a temporary fix, if your computer starts re-starting with a critical error message and giving you problems booting up, is to download Memtest 86, put it on a floppy, insert it into the floppy drive and restart the computer, windows won't load, so wait to see the scrolling numbers then take the floppy out and ctrl+alt+delete to restart the comp again.

Afterwards make sure you disable any hibernation/sleep mode on the computer. The ram will play nice together if you only use the restart and shut down features on the comp. For some reason hibernation and sleep give incompatible ram some major issues.

However...if you don't start seeing the problem to begin with, don't waste your time doing this. >.<

Hope I helped.

Thanks for that. Its certainly something I'll consider if anything goes wrong. For the moment everything seems fine,all of my games are working great (even Thief 1 which has mysteriously started working since I installed catalyst 6.6) so I wont worry too much. I looked in my motherboard manual and it said that when installing new RAM I only needed to worry about matching the type and density rather than the manufacturer but in future I think I'll just go for the same everything. Oh well back to the Oblivion discussion...Man its a good game!

Cheers
