I have 2 memory cards in my system (128 x 2) and I took one out to add a 512MB card. after I installed it and rebooted, my moniter would not show anything and it started to smell funny. I didnt know what my problem is and now I can get the fan on and system up but the beep noise doesnt happen and my moniter just flashes the little light. Please help!

um yea thats happened to me a few times =) this is what you need to do:
1)check your motherboard manual to make sure its the CORRECT TYPE of memory
2)check your motherboard manual to make sure your board can handle a single 512MB module
3)MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT IN CORRECTLY!
4)hint: unless that motherboard is somewhat newere - it will NOT handle a 512 stick and thats why your having the problem you are
