Attached Link: Memtest
Here is a memory test program.Another thought Is the memeory you installed. Is it the same brand of memory you already hadhave installed? As wabe states if the memory you installed is not the same brand as that already installed in the machine then there may be a mismatch between various setting and timing, case latency, etc., between the two sticks, or was it one?
Also something to consider is the BIOS and have you set the motherboard to accept the new stick of RAM using automatic settings. Some motherboards will not take ECC and others will not, there is a difference between buffered and non-buffered, and other factors you may have to check into. Other motherboards have two slots but only take 512 megs per slot and so on.
Normally you can check with the manufacturer of your system to find out what brands of RAM are supported.
