624657 2007-12-26 05:40:00 What happens if the new RAM is removed ?

Adding in RAM shouldn't ( famous last words) affect that file.

624658 2007-12-26 06:05:00 then it works fine because its running on my old ram which is 256mb pc2700. bjw90 (13029)

624660 2007-12-26 06:17:00 yes i think so and i think its low density if that makes a difference bjw90 (13029)
624661 2007-12-26 06:18:00 it is ddr 400 bjw90 (13029)
624662 2007-12-26 06:33:00 Are you trying to run both pieces of RAM at the same time, or has the old RAM been removed and only Running the new. wainuitech (129)

624664 2007-12-26 07:19:00 What is the Motherboard in the PC or is it a name brand PC Eg: HP, Dell ?

If the Mobo doesn't support the RAM that will give those sorts of results.
