aus motherboard problem

[Silver_St]

hi,

i have a asus P4S533 motherboard with a 2.26ghz cpu.
i had a 256mb (pc2700) DDr

now i wanted to put some extra in it
so i bought myself 512mb (pc333) DDr

so i put the fastest ram the 512 in first slot and then the second 256.
restart pc, bios pops op, i see it has 768 of ram, exit saving changes,
machine reboots, and after the summary of the hardware, it reboots again,
keeps rebooting

so i put only the 512 in it without the 256, reboot, bios pops up, exit
saving changes, my monitor doesn't give a signal

so now i don't know what to do...:-(

ps. i got the latest bios installed

any ideas ?

Check bios to confirm that it's set to "auto" or "SPD" timings for memory.
If there's also a memory setting for Turbo/normal/slow/default/etc, set
it to the more conservative option, definitely not turbo.

If that doesn't work you may need return the memory, or exchange for some
other brand, not another module of same memory.

After any new memory setting, before booting to, running the OS, test with
