RAM upgrade causes computer to crash....?

[joshsword]

Hello all!

I have bought some new RAM for my Lenovo Computer. It supports up to 2GB of RAM, so i have bought 2GB. It origionally had 1GB.

When i exchange the 2 512mb modules for the 2 1GB modules the computer will boot as normal but then crash/ freeze on the desktop!

The make of the RAM is crucial, and the RAM before was crucial. (it was also recommended by crucial).

I have gone into the BIOS looking for any Memory/RAM settings aswell as voltage settings but can't find anything!

Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Josh.

My only suggestion is that the OS doesnt like it.

i once had an old PC think it was an HP, i did an upgrade on the ram like for like went from 512 to 1gb and it caused a blue screen of death.

I did a reinstall of the OS on a spare disk as a test and it worked fine...

Alright,

I have tryed the RAM in an XP home and an XP pro OS, it still doesnt work.

Too be fair i think it may be bad RAM but its brand new from Crucial so thats weird... :/

Cheers,
Josh.
