Hi everyone
I have a PC with an Intel D865GLC mobo.
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D865GLC/
I checked compatibility with Kingston here:

I bought 2 sticks of PC3200 DDR 1GB RAM (KVR400)
http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/partsinfo.asp?root=&LinkBack=&ktcpartno=KVR400X64C3A/1G
I removed the existing sticks and put the new sticks into the same slots. That's one each in DIMM 0 Channel A and DIMM 0 Channel B.
The PC now won't boot, sometimes it won't get past POST, sometimes Windows stops with a bluescreen or a warning about a file version check on boot (it's Vista Home Premium but I don't think it's relevant as POST isn't reliable).
I tried using each stick on it's own in DIMM 0 Channel A and have the same problem.
Is it likely that both sticks are no good? Have I missed something? Am I being stupid?
Thanks for any ideas, help, advice.
Cheers
Simon
