My computer works fine with 1 gig of memory but if I add another gig it becomes unstable (freezes or restarts). I thought I had bad memory sticks and returned them for new ones but the problem still persists. Is there another reason this could happen?

Well that's a tricky one. 
Restart if your keyboard isn't working! 
Edit-- And he filled in his message which makes my reply pointless.
Double edit-- Sounds like you installed the extra stick of RAM wrong.

Check the RAM slots. One of those might be the culprit. Also make sure the additional RAM is all compatible, as well.

Git, did you bring in the old stick to make sure they were the same speed/brand?
It makes a big difference when going to dual sticks.

New comp. The first gig works fine putting in the second doesn't.
Clarification: Both gigs where purchased at the same time originaly.

I just wanted to jump in here and say I'm only reading this thread because I can't get sleepy and I was hoping this conversation would help.
It's not helping.

It works fine. Either I have something wrong with the ram slots or there is some other way that adding ram can make the computer unstable, like when adding hardware and not using the correct drivers can do it. Is there anything like that that can happen?
