Memory problem after installing new RAM sticks on Vista

A month or two back, I upgraded my system with Windows Vista Business 64bit and recently I got some extra RAM (2GB). After I installed the new RAM, my computer crashed suddenly. I ran some Vista diagnostics and it detected memory problems. When I logged in after a restart, I got the message as "Your computer has a memory problem".

Any advice? Could this be the problem of my new RAM or something else?

Have you overclocked your previous RAM sticks or made any changes to its voltages or frequencies? Check it and bring it to default settings.

Thanks for replying, but according to I never made any changes and also no one else has used this computer ever. So they should be at default settings. However I will recheck them and make sure what I am saying is correct.

Could be the problem of density difference among the older and newer one. It can cause such a problems also. Check the densities of each RAM sticks and make sure they all are working on same densities.
