I just add a 512 ddr ram to my computer... and every 30 min or so my computer give me a message that it is overheating and it shuts it down and restarts. It didnt do this when i didnt have the extra ram on... any suggestions?

Open it back up, make sure you haven't dislodged of disconnected anything. Adding ram should not cause a sys to overheat.
