So here is my build

I have a
  • gigabyte z68ma-d2h-b3
  • core i3 3.29GHz processor
  • 4gb of ram DDR3 1333 (patriot Signature Line 4GB DDR3*1333 PC3*10600) CL9 Desktop MemoryModule )
  • 400 Watt Power Supply
  • EVGA 01G-P3-1312-LR GeForce 210 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card
  • 500 gb sata hardrive
  • 10.7.2 Lion

When i go to install an extra 4gb of ram (Signature Line 4GB DDR3*1333 PC3*10600) CL9 Desktop MemoryModule ) , the same exact one, the hackintosh acts slower and the processor is running at like 100 percent.
 
Did you try running memtest?
 
What is a memtest? What does it do?

More importantly did you take out the known working memory stick and just install the new one to see if that still causes your issue, also are you making sure you have them in the correct configuration on the mb?

Memstat is a free memory tester.
