hey guys.
i've just upgraded my memory with a 1 gig stick of ddr ram. previously i had only 512mb installed. Now when I boot up my PC the usb ports and serial ports do not have any power to them. I guess the new stick of ram is sucking the power from the PC. Anyway to solve this without a new power supply?

Windows XP
ASUS motherboard
1024 1 GB DDR Ram 440
512 GB DDR Ram

any help appreciated
