check in bios see if it is recognized there, if not try shuffling the ram around get them in a differeent order and try again, if still nothing then try the new ram alone and see if it posts, if not hten the ram is bad, if it does then not sure what the problem is.

where abouts is it under BIOS?

my mobo is dual channel DDR, so does that mean i shud be doing sumthing first before i install the ram?

[_John_Lennon_]

The dual channel should be enabled just as soon as you put more ram in.

And if you have all 4 DIMM slots filled with Ram, than you should be fine.

What OS are you running, btw?

john lennon his operating system is in his specs.

dray i meant not IN the bios but during the post it should say it on the screen where it says your motherboard name, processor, then it says what driver are hooked up to each ide port.

Ahh, dually noted Rossco, thanks for just telling me where it was, when you already knew his operating system and could have just told me his operating system, instead of making me look at it, again.

when you press the button to turn on the computer the first thing that comes up on your screen is the POST which is part of the bios, it comes up before the windows xp screen with that scrolling blue dot, on most motherboards this screen will say your amount of ram, processor type, and other info about your computer.

if you dont know what im talking about then just forget about it.
