Help!

That sounds really strange... I'd say it was faulty RAM, but I've never heard of faulty RAM causing that kind of problem...

I have...some ram is just really cheap and won't work properly. Go to www.crucial.com and get some more ram. It will be worth the extra money.

I have. The same thing happened to me with some CompUSA RAM. Return it.

The lesson learned: Don't get your RAM from those PC guys. Go with RamJet.com. They're great.

Make SURE you don't buy ECC RAM... It won't work (or not properly). Did you get any beeps when you powered up the system after installing the memory???

Also check out www.mohawkmem.com for memory. They have a lifetime warranty (life of the computer, not just for how long you have it) on all their memory. Also, ALL of the memory from them works on any firmware update you might have done.

Oh yeah, and if you don't know which slot the RAM goes in, don't go installing it. It doesn't matter which of the memory slots you put it into, as long as it is good memory. Also, you can use PC100 memory in that system, as well as good quality PC133, the chips are backwards compatible, but not the systems. Essentially, this means you can put PC133 memory into a system that takes PC66, or PC100. But, you cannot put PC100 into a system that takes PC133 and uses it as such (such as the new towers, from DA forward).
