According to Kingston you're right.

All this sounds so fimilar when I first start playing around with computers, its been like 13 years that ive been building systems and such. When I was new into system I didn't know any thing about better brands I thought memory is memory and video cards were video cars and I would always buy all my stuff from places like besty buy,compusa and other places don't get me wrong buying a video card,sound card,displays,cdrom from thoses places are fine BUT memory,psus.mobo you really want to buy the better brands like: ocz,corsair,geil,silverstone ect they really do make a difference and have less problems.

Some might say thats crap but I'll give you just one example out of many. I was building a new system and bough must of my stuff from compusa and got home put everything together and when I went to start my system nothing would happen my fans would spin and then shut off. So I troubled shot everything returned some things that I thought was the problem and they were not so then finally returned the psu got the same one and the same thing computer wouldn't start. took it back 4 times and the 5 one worked . Compusa had 4 bad ones in stock the psu was some compusa brand so being so pissed off I returned the working one and bought my first antec true 550 and it was nice after that im pretty much sold on ocz and sliverstone stuff (top-end brands).

I guess my whole point to this story is that your going to run into theses kinda of problems with lower end brands/lower end models, plus stay away from on board stuff it robs your resouces.
