Have you tried to remove the new memory and see if it will boot? Jym

yes, both 512 sticks are the same brand and type
both work independent but not together I was wondering if something had to be reset in XP

That's a strange one ! Older board would have to get the bios upgraded
before they would handle that much ram . You could check that out at the
board manufacture's website . Also you could ask the memory manufacture if
he has any ideas. Jym

Greetings,
Try with one stick of memory at a time.
That may indicate if one is faulty.

one stick at a time works fine
I also updated Bios it is a ASROCK M7VM2 mother board one site said some thing about XP and anything over 512 might need some new codes for XP

There is no problem whatever with Windows XP and RAM up to at least 3
gb, and it is designed to work with up to 4 gb and has been used that
way by a number of people.

Those symptoms are a classic example of mis-matched RAM.
RAM from different manufacturers, or even from the same manufacturer
but different production lots, can have internal differences in the
physical layout and/or the material composition of the RAM chips.
These differences can affect the strength and timing of the signals
returned from the RAM and Windows is sensitive to these differences.
Good luck
