Please be patient while waiting for a reply. Sometimes it takes 12 - 24 hours for a response.

If the RAM stick doesn't work alone, there could be a problem with the stick. Try it in another computer that takes DDR2.

We will need to know what motherboard this is. Follow the suggestion mattlock138 gave you so we can determine the motherboard.
