I am fixing a computer with a foxconn g33m02 motherboard and the ram that was inside before i rebuilt it was two sticks of nanya ddr2 1gb and when i put them back in the computer wouldn't boot then i put in 1 stick of corsair 1gb ddr2 memory after i took out the other stuff it booted fine.

"RAM is buggy and will not work in all systems. The speed / timing / other things will effect the compatibility for the RAM. It could also be a bad stick of RAM."

The weird thing is that This was the existing RAM that was in the computer when we got it and it ran perfectly fine for months. Could the RAM have gone bad? I know the motherboard is fine because i tested the one working stick in all 4 slots
