Make sure the dimms you stuck the ram into are the same color. They might be Dual Channel. The ones of similiar color aren't alway right next to each other.
If you have a 32 bit OS it won't recognize more than 3.5 GB of ram and anything past that may cause problems. So you may only be able to use one stick of it.
Are you sure your motherboard support 2Gb sticks ?I know motherboards with intel p31 chipset dont support more than 1gb for per ram slot.Or you may need a bios upgrade .If you can give name and model we can look for it.
yeah double check your mother board if that motherboard support above 3 gb mems. .

ok after a re-boot the PC would no longer work, took it to local PC store where I bought the RAM the fixed the problem the motherboard cannot take take that much RAM..... simple as that, I do advise that people DO NOT use any internet scanners, as thiese can give misleading information
shhh... you might wake the trolls
yeah...i agree with you.
