Having problems installing new memory. at the moment I have 2 256 mb sticks and have 1 new 512 mb stick to install. I clicked it in but my pc fails to boot, only going to a setup screen saying hit del Is there somthing I need to change in the BIOS setup or have I got incompatable memory ie they need to be from the same manufacturer. I got the chip from crucial who scan your system so it must be the right type of memory - I hope!

What type memory is it? SDR (PC100/PC133) or DDR (PC2100, PC2700, or PC3200)?
What make/model motherboard do you have? Did you check the board manufacturer's website before buying the new RAM?
Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 512MB PC3200 Asus Ti4800SE 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro

Your Motherboard may accept two different types of memory but you can't install both types. Remove the new memory and download a free utility called Everest Home Edition. This will tell you the MBoard model and the type of memory currently in the computer. Find Everest here: http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.php?pid=1&lang=en&pageid=1
