i bought a 256MB PC100 SDRAM DIMM 3.3V 32x64
i have a lucky star K7A750 mainboard. i'm running windows 2000. when i boot up with just my original ram of only 64MB, it boots up fine, but when i tried booting with both my old and new ram, i get a quick blue screen with text after the window startup screen and it restarts again and again. when i boot with only the new ram, sometimes i get to the windows login, but it reboots automatically again. CAN ANYONE HELP?? thanks

It sounds like you have the wrong type of RAM.

Is your old RAM a single or double sided chips? What is the new RAM (single or double sided)?

You can not mix types.

I have about 3 GB of various types available if you are interested in buying more RAM cheap.

thanks for the help, but then how come the new one doesn't work by itself?

Check your systemboard manual and see if your board support PC100 memory.
