can it be fsuipc or some thing else

i need to fix this please please please help  

Sounds like bad RAM chip might be a possibility?  

Are you putting it in the correct RAM slot?  Some boards require that you skip a slot.

best,

You're sure your motherboard supports that much ram?

this is the second system and mother board that it has done this to.
i have just reinstaled fs2004 with 2 gig fitted and works fine now so not sure why it would start to play up on installing more memory
the rest of the computer worked fine just fs2004

Are you sure that your system can handle 1 GB chips? Maybe it would work fine with 4x512 chips.

Also, are the 2 chips of the same type (DDR1, DDR2) and speed?
