Seems like there is few people managed to fix the problem by using different brand memory and 1 of them had Nanya similar to your one when he had a problem. If you can find another ddr2 chip from a friend try it instead of the nanya.

Yeah I might buy a Nanya one, if that resolves it then Asus are useless. Well they are anyway but they still told me it was compatable.

My experience hasnt been good with Asus Support either. Just for safe side before buying anything make sure to try another memory from a friend incase memory compatibility is not the issue ...

Always try to get matching pairs of modules from the same manufacturer. It's a nightmare I know but in my experience you often find that some manufactures just don't play nice with other manufactures even though the timings are the same.

I often get laptops in for repair with additional memory that a customer has purchased seperately, that, once removed cure all problems.

I currently on eBay with a saved search for the specific memory that's in my tower and when one comes up at the right prices I'll throw down on it as I know that getting the same Manufacturer, Latency, Timings, Speed etc I'm doing everything I can to limit the possible number of problems I'll face.

Next time I think I'll buy a kit, 2x2Gb modules for example just to save myself a headache!
