When I try to drag and drop things anywhere, when I try to open System Profiler via "About This Mac" window, and lots of other things, Finder crashes. Rather, the window manager crashes, or something crashes. haha. Also, THIS has been happening.

I've run the Apple Hardware Test, and it freezes (mouse pointer stops responding). Is this normal (I'm assuming not). I really hope it's not the RAM, because I can't afford to replace it (Third party ram...). This ram has been great for about 2 months now. I really can't go from 2gb back to the stock 512... blah.

The only crash log that appears after any issues is this one:

Remove the 3rd party RAM. Sounds like the problem. Call the company you purchased the RAM from to get a replacement.
