In windows xp you usually get an option to tell microsoft of the problem. They are usually caused by out of date drivers - usually the sound card driver. Download drivers for your sound and graohics card and see if this cures the problem.

have you installed this ram alongside your old one or just replaced the old one?

I have replaced the old one. I bought the RAM from scan.co.uk and it has a lifetime warranty.
