Hello lads, I've got a bit of a problem here.

I'm trying to install some RAM for a computer at work, and I've found a problem I've never experience before. I put the ram in (1GB added to two sticks of 256MB), and when I restart, loads of problems occour - seemingly random problems. One time it said that system32 was corrupt, another restart it just kept me at the 'IBM motherboard' screen, another time it just didn't boot at all. When I take the gig stick out, it works fine again.

What do you think? Broken ram? Broken sockets? Incorrect ram (which would be surprising, orcalogic are normally quite good). Any help would be apreciated.

Self sage for the pic pun.

That sounds like the hallmark of knackered RAM, but it can also be the memory controller or sockets. Run MemTest, see what happens?

Also, of course, try another stick of RAM if you can, but I'm sure that's your plan anyway.

RAM is always the worst thing to go wrong because seemingly everything and anything can happen.
