Your motherboard can support up to 8 Gb of ram, of type DDR2 667 MHz or 800 MHz. In practice 667 would do I believe as the performance difference is not great in practice. The board has 2 DIMM sockets for this.
It depends somewhat on your OS and what you want to do. I'd try 4 Gb first. Bear in mind that added ram doesn't actually speed the computer as such, only a faster CPU does that, but it will allow more windows to be kept open, and cut down on data swapping to virual memory on the hard drive.
.
When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail. A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are clogged with dust. Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan. If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed air to do this.
I have a motherboard intel dg41rq and intel core 2 duo E7200 and nvidia geforce 9500 GT and 4gb ram (DDR3).It will work with call of duty black ops 2 and FIFA 13.So your done.
A slow computer could becaused by a number of things -
1.InsufficientRAM memory - if your computer has less than 512Mb of RAM then increase it to atleast 1Gb of RAM.
2.Registryproblems - clean and repair the registry, it will contain unused registry keys.Use programs such as Registry Mechanic, Microsoft RegClean etc.
3.Uninstall/removeunused programs, this will also free up hard disk space.
4.Notenough hard disk space - swap file space may need to be increased if Windowshasn't been configured to manage it.
5.Installlatest Windows updates.
6.Updatevirus definition files and scan computer for viruses, Trojans, malware etc.
7.Clearthe Internet cache for faster browsing.
8.Harddisk maintenance is required at least once a month to keep it functioningefficiently.
Runthe following programs -
Disk Cleanup -removes temporary files that are no longer used and to recovers hard disk space.
DiskDefragmenter to make fragmented files into contiguous files and thereforethe hard disk access is faster.
Check the fans on the motherboard, are they all working?
Have you cleaned out the fans and heatsinks ?
Using compressed air, or even the blower end of a vacuum cleaner blow out the dust in the fans and the cooling fins of any large heat sinks, like the one over the processor.
It sounds like the machine is overheating, the dust is probably preventing air from circulating around the heat sink fins,
