Memory issue...

[musok]

Good afternoon!
I've a Macbook Pro Core Duo 1.83ghz. It came with 512mb, i bought 1gb and now i bought 2gb (memory of course). Anyway, now i'm trying to use 2gb memory with 1gb memory so i can get 3gb! Well, when i try this and turn on the computer it just appears me the black screen as it doesnt turn on and the sleep light doing the fade like it was sleeping, but doesn't initiate the OS.
Anyone know how i can solve this problem?

Does it work with just the 2gb chip?

Seems like max RAM with Core Duo model is 2gb

Hardware limit for that motherboard.

Core Duo supports 2gb
Core 2 Duo supports 3gb
Core 2 Duo with Santa Rosa supports 4gb
Unibody MBP 15" supports 6gb
Unibody MBP 17" supports 8gb
