Ram manufacturers generally have configurators to tell which of their modules are compatable with your board.
Here's what Corsair says, they list a couple at the top, scroll down for the full list.

Great board, it will pretty much take any kind of rams.

I had used, OCZ, Mushkin, Corsair and Kingston rams on a P5Q pro and P5Q-E, all works great.

I think you are right. But i don't know how, is there any simple way so (none hardware expert ) can do that?

I use 2 x 1GB Mushkin, but it happened to see the blue screen several times while i'm using both (2GB) or even 1GB.

So, how can i test my current memory?
And, Which ram brand should i use beside the 2GB Mushkin i have?
And how i should install them?

yup. either burn memtest on a cd/floppy or put it on a usb drive or even better get ubcd and there you will have lots of utilities, including memtest

First thanks everyone for your answers and help.

Here is another issue and i don't know why this happened.

I was trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate using DVD that i used it before several times. The motherboard is "Assus P5Q Deluxe" and using 2 x 1GB Ram Mushkin Enhanced:
2GB HP 2-8500
5-5-5-18
2.2.2.35

These ram installation were one(1GB) on each yellow slot.
Windows installation failed 4 times using those 2 x 1GB Rams. But when i used just 1GB only, the installation went fine and I'm writing here now after everything went normal with ONE/1GB of Mushkin Ram.

I don't understand why this is happened, and how can i fix this?
This is issues happened several times, and each time i assume the Mushkin Rams are fine, until now, i think they are not ok.

Besides, few months ago i ran to the same issue and after windows installation wen ok, and i installed the 2 x 1GB rams, i got the blue screen a lot....

This is bugging me a lot, and i'll appreciate any help/opinion on how fix this.

Thanks a lot.
