Problems with new RAM

[edixon]

   Yesterday I installed two new sticks of RAM into my PC to replace the old ones. When I restarted my PC it recognised my RAM whilst booting up and then loaded windows XP fine- but a few minutes later it went to the blue screen- I cannot remember exactly what it said, but it was something to do with the memory. I have now reinstalled the old RAM and the computer is working fine.

The RAM I installed was 2*1GB PC3200 DDR400Mhz which is compatible with my K8S-MX motherboard (according to Crucial and my own research).
I also have an AMD Sempron 2500+ processor- would this affect what kind of RAM I can have?

Install one stick at a time and run MemTest on each one...you may have gotten a faulty stick.
I couldn't find much info on your MBoard...is that the correct model #

Your memory sticks specs seems to be correct:
 


Maybe, as patio said, bad stick.
It would be helpful to know what that BSOD error said.
