Starting up problems!!!

[the_music_man]

im sick and tired of my computer not being able to work with different sticks of RAM. I've tried a 512mb mushkin pc2700 and now i just tried a rosewill 512mb pc2100.....with the rosewill i just tried now it would get to the page about "hardware change" then ask whether to start it in safe mode, last configuration or normally. and i tried each one and before the windows logon even came up it would just restart. then i would take the rosewill out and put my samsung 256(pc2100) back in and it would work perfectly. can someone tell me why i can't get other RAMs to work? its effing annoying and i keep wasting money with all these restocking fees

well maybe because the ram is not compatible with your motherboard, like your motherboard may not support it

it should be able to

Your mobo maker has a list of tested RAM here .
