I recently bought 512 mb of ram for my p.c. - the correct format and exactley the same as the ram i already have, after installing it my p.c. KEPT restarting aroujnd about the windolws startup screen. Now, even though i removed the new ram the p.c. is still aacting up. It will get past the first part of the initial boot up, (detects ide's ) then the second part (verfiying dmi pool) then after that the screen jsut goes blank and nothing happens, at this point you cna turn off th ep.c. with just one tap of the off button, rather than the normal 6 second hold down.

Please Help

ThanksPut the old RAM back in and clear the CMOS (see your owner's manual for how, or remove the battery for 5 seconds).

What is the motherboard MAKE and model? Is there a RAM maximum for it? Need a few more details please.the motherboard is a Gigabyte K8 Triton, ive already tried putting the old ram in and clearing the bios, by taking out and putting back in the lithium battery, it didnt make any hlepful DIFFERENCE and as im aware there isnt a ram maximum for the motherbaord, my friend had the same model with the same type of memroy ( 2 x 512mb sticks) and it worked fine.

ThanksPlease, any help would b GREATLY appreciated, i am without my main computer...
If it helps, there is anothe element to the problem... after the verifying dme pool screen it goes blank... it also goes blank after it goes past the first stage of booting form cd, or after ive HIT F8 and chosen safe mode.

Thanks
