A few hardware problems, got solutions?

[daddy_4_eyes]

I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites where I could download updated drivers for my hardware? I've searched several sites but all seem to have errors on them.

Also, I just bought me an extra 256MB of RAM but when I install it with my current 128MB the computer freezes up as soon as I run a game. Both RAM's work seperately, but together seem to stuff up. I was wondering whether this might be a software problem, a motherboard problem, or if the 2 RAM brands are clashing?

Thanks in advance

OK, in regards to drivers, some sites include:

www.windrivers.com

but personally, i think its best to go to the site of the manufacturer and download the driver straight from there..

Yep.
Another useful site is www.cnet.com (and then the drivers section obviously).

It sounds like you may have a memory conflict.... You could try using different memory slots, but I think you may have to replace your old 128mb with the same type as your 256mb.

At a very rough guess I'd say it's a conflict between two different memory types. Besides, you don't really need more than 256MB at this point in time, flog your old 128MB off and go buy a game

And yes, stick to manufacturer websites if you want to be guaranteed the most up-to-date drivers.

Thanks everyone, those sites really came in handy.

I've given the 128MB RAM to my old man(before that he had 32MB, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahah, i'm surprised his computer worked ).
