Hey guys (first post here, so be gentle 
)
I have quite an old pc (Intel P4 2.4Ghz) with a Shuttle AB45 motherboard that has been working fine with 512 Mb Ram (DDR266 PC 2100). Recently, having purchased a laptop for university, I bought 2x 1gig modules to upgrade my desktop (from ebay member fastmemoryman, titanium seller) that, on paper, seem to be 100% compatible. Unfortunately, whatever combination of modules I use, whenever there is one of the new modules in, the computer does not even get past the POST, and does not beep, there is no screen activity, i have no idea what to do.(Also, the "hard drive in use" light is always on)
I have spoken to other people who have bought this memory, and they all said it works fine, so i guess the memory could be fine.
Do you think the memory is crap, or need to upgrade bios, or something else i havent thought of?
Sorry for my RAMbling (!), just helping you get an idea of my problem.
Thank in advance for any help/advice.
