Remove the 128 and try the computer with just the new 512 mb
installed.

If it fails to start then you have a problem. Possible causes
include:
- The 512 mb module is not installed correctly
- The 512 mb module is not compatible with your computer. There are
many different types of RAM available. A common cause of problems is
to use a high density (single sided) PC133 SDRAM module in a
motherboard that only supports the low density (double sided) PC133
modules.
- The 512 mb module is defective.

Good luck
