Horrible Experience Installing Ram!

Tarron_D · 29th December 2002, 00:21

I just had the worst 1 hour of my life. I was installing 256mb's of ram to add to my existing 128mb's of ram. Guess what? it gave me some shit error and didn't finish loading windows 2000! It told me in system setup that i had 384 mb's of ram, okay good, so it gets halfway through the windows 2000 loading screen and gives me a half page error and ways to fix it. It told me to use safe mode, didn't work. Then it said something about Bios, and to turn some setting like shadowing off? Im clueless, i took the ram out, and im now wondering how i set up this Bios so it will exept the ram? So to recap, i have a new stick of ram thats recognized, but windows won't start fully. What do i do???
