When I install additional memory initial boot up recognises it, but get
error message when booting up windows.
"Unable to start window due to lost or corrupted ntoskrnl.exe file.

If I remove new memory boots up OK. This is the second set of memory I have
problems with.

I would be grateful for any help.

Check your memory against what should be installed at these sites..

Sometimes it is hard to get a match with what you already have in your
computer. To get around that problem I always purchase the "total" of what I
want at the same time, from the same supplier - hopefully manufactured on
the same day in the same batch.

Then I remove what was previously in the computer and use only the new RAM.
The old RAM goes for inexpensive repairs to other computers ( and yes, I
tell the customers that I have good used RAM I can install if they want to
save money).

Just recently I removed 2-256 meg sticks of PC3200, clock 3 RAM from my
personal computer because I wanted to upgrade to 1 gig of PC3200, clock 2
RAM. Someone in the near future will get a deal on 512 meg of PC3200 RAM
when they ask for an upgrade.
