Hey,
Have had this issue a few times both times it was a problem with either the ram
quality (only when its new ram) or in the other case it was a machine that had been
running fine and we took it to XP from ME clean install it was also ram apparently
the ram was not up to par for XP or had some type of problem anyway I would suggest
trying to just put 1 stick at a time in and see if it is just one stick bad or if
it just does not like the quailty of them both assumeing they are the same make and
model or return the ram for a little better known brand\quality hope this is helpful.
I know how frustrating it can be when something as simple as this is supposed to
be goes wrong. Thanks Jimmy
