Your motherboard details are here:
http://www.eqscomputers.com/product/s478/m45p8.html

It clearly says DDR400 memory, whereas you seem to have something
different.

The compatible memory for your chipset is listed here:
http://www.ati.com/products/radeon91...memvendor.html

However, take care as a lot listed are not DDR400.

Where did you buy the memory? Was it at a local computer shop or another
source? This could be important with regard to exchanging the unsuitable
memory for the correct memory.

You need to buy memory where you can get advice. Installing memory can
be a little hit and miss. It can be necessary to match memory. The last
time I bought extra memory some wasn't recognised so the supplier
swapped it for that supplied by another manufacturer.

Hope this helps.
