I'm selling my current PC to my cousin but before he wanted it, he wanted some upgrades like more RAM (to a GB), bigger harddrive, etc. Well, all the parts came in yesterday and I cannot get the RAM to work. Without the new RAM, my system boots up fine with 2x 256MB. But when I put in the new RAM (1x 512MB), my system either randomly restarts after the Windows loading screen, or reaches the user account pick screen and tells me I have a Windows registery error then it restarts.

I have the MB manual sitting right here. It says that it supports up to a 1GB stick and I know it accepts PC2700. It says...

You can install either single- or double-sided modules in any order to meet your own needs.

Again, without the new RAM, my system boots up perfectly.

Motherboard.
Old RAM (works fine)
New RAM

Any thoughts?
