Boot Problem

[Sir-Epix]

Okay I just bought some 72 pinn Simm EDO sticks for my file server. I installed it, and now it won't boot windows. It gets as far as going into windows but freezes. Does anyone know why it is doing this? How can I fix this?

Looks like the RAM is bad. I have seen this problem when I once installed some more RAM in a P166MMX machine - it wouldn't boot into windows.

If the RAM was bad it would not even show it. It shows the ram and boots to windows but freezes. I am going to try a fresh install, which I thought would work, but i really didn't want to reinstall windows

I have had problems with faulty SIMMs - the RAM shows up but th OS hangs.
