new ram makes xp crash

[Guest]

just a little prob
went and bought a stick of 512 mb 333mhz ddr ram for my atherton 2400 m/board and this makes the system crash .
orriginal was 2 x 128 166 mhz ddr .this still kills system but not as fast
have tried correcting page file turned off auto restart plus other options
please help
p/s no new drivers have been installed

Does the BIOS and mobo support 512 MB sticks? Did you put
the 512 DDR in the lowest numbered slot and remove the 2 128
of mismatched RAM?

even if the 333 worked it would only run at 166 speed
------------------------------------------------
You have to ensure your previous RAM is compatible
with the new RAM. And that it's compatible with
your motherboard.
Have a look at the memory configurators
------------------------------------------------
help to find the right RAM for
your specific make and model PC.
Visit more then one and make sure they match.
