http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/...html?RAM-21/1GB

and i installed it and the comp wont boot let alone get to XP it stays in the black screen and the screen stays in standby so then i took it out and the comp works fine again with the previous ram,is this ram not compatible even though i was told it was or is there some kinda settings i need to allow or something? any help would be appreciated thanks,
 
perhaps the chip isnt compatible with your RAM or you should get an update of your bios, remember to have a backup of your old bios, incase something happens! :) hope that would help!
 
Hello! Welcome to TechSpot!

Your link doesn't work.
Before you flash the bios, try installing just the new ram.
Before you try to boot up, clear the cmos so bios can redetect the new ram.
If this fail to help try what /usr/denied/ has sugested.
Also look in you manual for a list of compatible ram mudules.
If you need this is a link to your MoBo manual
G'Luck
