    We have an old HP Vectra 400 and we bought were given a stick of ram from an exactly identical PC .

    However , when we install the 2nd stick of RAM , the PC will not boot up .

    Is there some changes to be made in set-up - F2 , to make this extra ram work ?

    It says taht the ram passed the test

    How was the ram handled? did you take precautions for static damage? Ram can be wrecked very easily if you're not careful.

    Twas a friend of mine installed it and I did'nt see him take precautions , so maybe the stick is damaged with static .
