Re: ram again!

you could try clearing the cmos; motherboard manual should tell you how.

is the system a dual-channel system? if so the two sticks should be
matched, or it might not work. You can get it to work by disabling
dual-channel mode. again, clearing the cmos should reset the bios to use
it's most liberal settings, thus getting it to at least boot cleanly.
Then you can enter the bios and tweak.
