New RAM, BIOS Sees it, Vista Doesn't Boot

[theknight571]

Ok, here's the deal.

A friend of mine has a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5804 with 1 GB Ram.

They asked me to upgrade it to 2GB.

I go to Crucial's site, and purchase the RAM they suggest.

When I install the RAM the BIOS sees the new 2GB, but Vista never boots.. I don't even see the hard drive light flicker.

All I get is a flashing cursor in the upper left corner.

Is it bad RAM? An unknown conflict? or it is Vista?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind.

It turns out that there WAS a new BIOS available... I didn't see it when I first looked for an update.

Works just fine with the new BIOS.
