I have a PC Chips P25G motherboard. The spec on this board says I can install up to 2 gb of ram. I'm currently running 1 gb of ddr pc3200 400 from dell. I want to increase my memory to 2gb. I install another 1 gb ddr pc3200 400 from Samsung in the open socket and it would not boot up, just a blank screen. I remove the 1gb I just installed and it boots up with no problem. I thought maybe the new memory was bad so I tried the new memory in the socket were the old memory is and it also boots up fine. I tried putting the new and old memory in the second socket and it still will not boot. It seems that only one socket is working, it will only boot from one socket.
Could I have a bad socket? Or is it possible the memory is not compatible?
