Hello:
I recieved 1.0Gb of RAM (2x 512Mb PC-133) and installed it on an Asus a7v133. The problem is that when I put in one of the sticks the computer runs excellent, but if I install both the computer eithr does not boot or will crash just when the Win2k splash screen appears. BTW if I put stick #1 in alone the computer runs fine, but if I put stick #2 it won't post, but if I put both at the same time it will post but not complete the boot.

Finally...the question is: Is stick #2 faulty or is it my MoBo? Really need help on this one please. I appreciate any input.

Specs:

Duron 800@ 933MHz
Asus a7v133 Bios rev. 1.005
Win2k Pro installed
Maxtor 20.0Gb HD ATA66

thanx...
