Hi JS
I already done that test and it gave me no errors.That is why i don't know
if it is a RAM problem or something related to PSU.You said it could be a
case of a wrong memory for my PC how should i know if this is the
case.Motherboard handles till 4GB beside new RAM and old ones both have same
bus 400.Help me please.

Try running Memtest86+, this runs from a boot disk or CD
and should eliminate or confirm if your ram is bad. Install
only your Kingston memory before you start the test.
Let it run for as long as you can, 2,4,6,8 or more hours,
if no errors by then your ram is OK, but this appears to be
a case of the wrong memory for your PC and I would expect
it will fail within a short period of time is you are even able to
boot from the memtest CD or floppy.
See: http://www.memtest.org/
Also use the Crucial Memory Advisor Tool
http://www.crucial.com/store/listmfgr.asp?cat=RAM
Compare how close the specs are between what
Crucial recommends and what the specs are for your
Kingston memory.

since i had 512MB RAM.After i installed new RAM computer took around 20
seconds to boot up,power light,hard disk and fans all working but no beep
that happens at first when you boot up computer and nothing on the
screen.Then it booted up normally.Couple of days ago when i started

I took off new RAM and installed the old ones that came with the

Is it a problem with the new RAM i bought or a power supply problem.Please
