Ram upgrade = No XP

[Guest]

I upgraded a friends old PC to Windows XP, it worked fine but the PC only had 64 MB of RAM, so I got them the correct upgrade to knock it up by 256 so that the RAM was now at 320MB
XP would no longer run. I checked setup on the PC and it identified that the RAM was present but after rebooting the screen went blank. Every time I start the PC it identifies the RAM is present, and that everything else was fine but will not start Windows XP. I took the RAM out and it loaded without a problem. I checked with HP, whom the computer was made by, and they said it was a software problem with windows XP as the system was showing everything it should be showing, and the RAM I had bought was correct
Any help with this matter would be much appreciated.

Will the computer run with just the new RAM installed? Try that if you have
not. XP does not like mixed RAM modules, if you have 2 or more they should
be identical modules.
