"Memory Problem....."


          

I've just upgraded my memory from 128mb to 512mb. (1x512mb)

My problem is that while the bios memory test goes okay, when i test my memory with Norton Diagnostics memory test it fails when testing with "all bits cleared".

The address it fails at is different for each re-boot, but the same if i test more than once....

Im running windows ME, processor is an AMD Duron 800. And my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-7zmm.

I've also tried installing 2x256mb sticks with similar results. With just one 256mb stick installed the test goes fine....

Any help much appreciated

Michael

Norton can not test memory above 256MB, disregard the results.
