Dead RAM Stick?

I bought 2gb of Giel PC6400 Ultra low ram from here, but once I installed it, I found that the computer will only boot when one of the sticks is removed.

With both sticks in it freezes at the mobo logo page, but works percectly fine with just 1 stick it.
I have adhjusted the voltages in the BIOS to the correct volts for the ram, but still nothing.

Dead stick?

Do both sticks work on their own?

If not, then yeah you've almost certainly got a dud stick.

Nope, other stick doesn't work on its own.

Will I have to send them back as a pair (I'm guessing so), as this will leave me with no working desktop

Yeah you'll have to return the kit.

And I would do it tomorrow morning or you'll have to wait til Wednesday for the Post Office to open again.
