Default got new ram?

It appears your ram is not compatabile. I suggest you first look at the
mother board manual to see what ram you need. Get the manual on-line if
yoiu don't have a copy. Then goto Corsair's site and put in the
information about the board and see what they recommend. I have had no
experience with Corsair as I use Crucial.

Hi, purchased ram (corsair 512 3200c2), the systems already has 2/256 3200
400mhz with two extra slots for more memory, I install the memory as
directed, and when I start up windows, it would get to the welcome and
then it would just reboot. over and over again. I tried trouble shooting
by removing the original memeory completly and replacing it with just the
new corsair ram and I got the same results. a constant reboot. Did I get
bunk memory, or is the ram I purchased incorrect? Can anyone help?
The corsair memory is on one module, unlike the original, which is in two.
Does this make a diffrence?
I thought windows would just recognize the new memory automaticly, or is
there something I missed?
