Comment: I have a hp pavilion n5440 laptop that i am trying to install new ram into. it currently has a 128 mb sdram pc133 in it and i bought another 256 mb sdram pc133 to go with it. When i try to boot it up with both of them i get an error that says my pci.sys file is corrupted or something and if i try to boot it up with just the 256 the screen won't even come on. I looked in the bios when both 128 and 256 were in it and it says the total is 384. any ideas on how i can get past this?
