Welcome to the forums, Jason! I'm not that familiar with DDR yet but have you tried booting with just the new stick installed? If it boots the two may be incompatible with each other. Keep us updated!

Additional info.
Hi and thanks for the welcome
Well I did try the RAM alone, subsequent to your comment, and my system actually does not work with that new RAM stick by itself. I found that strange since the machine picks up 768 MB of RAM when they are both in....but gives the BIOS error.
I guess I will return the RAM and try a new one, but if anyone has experienced something similar to this problem I would love to hear....I am a little worried about experiencing the same thing again with new RAM.
Regards,
Jason

Yes I did flash the bios and it should have the latest release.
Also (which I did mention ) I have a ECS p4s5a motherboard.
It is the 478 model and uses SiS645 & SiS961 Chipset.
I am going to pick up some new RAM today and see if that fixes things, which I hope.
Thanks for the reply.
