Memory Dimms & compatibility

Always an answer here so here goes ...

Very happily running the following for the last 12-18 months;

Win2 Pro, latest patches etc

Motherboard : bought a Maplin (UK) deal GA-6VEM about 18 months ago. Totally happy with performance etc.

CPU : Celeron (don't ask which one, 1Gb)

No overclocking. Regular apps. 128Mb Mem 1 x 40Gb 7200, 1 x 8Gb 5200. 1 x Sony CD-RW.

Go to Maplin (same supplier with memory Dimm in anti-static bag) - I'd like one of these.

Get home - install said Dimm - BLUE SCREEN.

Dimm on it's own works fine in either of the 2 slots. Old Dimm likewise. Together Blue Screen.

Any ideas guys ? I am at the end of my tether here. Yes, I'd love to go out and buy a new Motherboard but I am determined to get some decent life out of this one yet !!!

Thanks in anticipation

Jon
