[QUOTE="rothux.j, post: 1245225, member: 203272"] Well, from the guess of things, I would say this is a software fault, rather than hardware. I say this because, even when it freezes finder, you can still move the pointer. Go to system preferences and lower the resolution under "Display". Choose the resolution and select one with the lowest frequency (normally 60 Hz). Click "Color" and "Calibrate". Follow the instructions there. If this doesn't work, back up all your work to another computer or multiple memory sticks, and consider reinstalling the OS. Also, how long have you had the RAM sticks? You say they are non-apple? Normally I wouldn't think this would have any effect over display, but you never know. Anyway, try what I wrote and see what it results in. [/QUOTE]
