Collette, It is possible that one of your ram sticks went bad. Have you tested your ram? The newest Techtool Pro will do this. Guage Pro 1.1 will do this for you and can be downloaded free. Make sure to let it run continuously with all other processes shut down. Ram does go bad so this is at least worth checking. I assume you've pulled and reseated the sticks just in case the contact went bad or came loose. I don't think simply having 256 mb should be causing such problems. While more ram is always good, I think it is something else causing the problems.
