That definitely sounds like a hardware problem. The memory you are adding
is bad, or somehow not getting along with the motherboard or your existing
memory.

Try it in different slots, if there are any other empty slots. Also, try it
alone (remove your older, existing memory).

PC3200, most motherboards only accept 1 stick of 400 MHZ
memory so if you are using more then 1 stick there is your
problem and since you did not bother to tell us the make
of your board, it will be hard to diag for you. Check your
manual for memory types usable on your system.
