Default Re: Memory + Graphics card 6600 upgrade and random blue screens...

Memory should be as similar as possible (same manufacturer and batch as well
as spec.). Could cause grief if you added a 512 to existing ram. Use
SISoftware Sandra Lite or similar to perform repetitive checking to rule out.

Get the latest drivers for the graphics card, I had many issues with a
recent 6600GT install not resolved with NVidia drivers (and many forums
filled with similar comments - check http://www.guru3d.com/ - for info and
tools). My issues resolved by using the manufacturers (eg: asus in your
case?) latest drivers. These were the same version number as NVidia's, but a
different file size.

Check 3dmark website - forums reporting similar issues and solutions?
