Check to make certain the ram is fully inserted. and
Also if using only the new ram, that it is in the proper location (slot when
using a single module) for your motherboard.

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?
