Hi

Recently i installed a new pair of RAM each 1GB bus 400 upgrading from 512MB.Right after i installed new RAM computer started to take 30 sec to boot up, meaning green power light is on and hard disk light,all fans are working but no display on the screen then it booted up normally.Now it doesn't boot up at all still power light,hard disk light are on,fans working but no display.I took off new RAM and installed back old ones,computer booted up normally.My question is it a problem with the new RAM i bought or is it something else because computer is working fine with the old RAMs but doesn't want to work with the new ones.The new ones are Kingstone.I would very much appreciate if someone can help me solve this problem.Thanks in advance.
