Ok after elimination the machine boots up ok into bios with 1 stick of memory but when you put two in it refuses to boot just resets. Tried the memory sticks independantly of each other machine boots ok. even tried booting them together in different memory slots Any ideas?

Um, we might need more info.

For them both to work you might need slightly more juice to the NB.

if you can get in bios change the ram voltage. most bios default to low wich can sometimes cause probs. i know my machine dont boot if i leave it at default. should say on ram packaging what your recoomneded voltage is.

k just chcked recomended 2.1-2.2v for that memory on overclockers. and bios normally is set at 1.8v wortha try
