I purchased some cheap Corsair 512MB PC3200 at Fry's about a week ago, adding it to the Kingston 512MB PC3200 already in the system. After putting the system under load with video games (FarCry, WoW), the computer would randomly reboot. I figured it may have been somehing to do with the ram or possibly my mobo. My steps:

1) Updated all drivers for my motherboard, CPU, there was no BIOS upgrade
2) Verify my old ram works by itself
3) Verified that the new ram would have problems in both of my DDR slots

After all that I figured I got a bad RAM chip so I took it back for an exchange. However, the new stick acts the same way. Do you suppose this is a motherboard issue or what?

Mobo: MSI K7VTA3V6.0 running an AMD Barton 2500+.
