i bet it could be an issue with the memory stick, just my guess! Did'nt you say you took the stick back out to see what happened? I would try taking it back out and see how much memory the system tells you it has. Just maybe it reallly did'nt see it as removed.

one more thing, have you checked the device manager to see if you had any problems or conflicts? And do you still have problems when you shut down the pc yourself and later restart it?

Device Manager - No

If I manually shut down and turn it back on, it will go to to disk boot error screen. Turn it back off and wait approx. 1 hour and it will start fine.

Hmmmm.

The one hour thing is interesting.

After a "cold" shutdown, meaning completely removing power from the system (at least for the mostpart) memory should eventually lose whatever was in there before because the capacitors won't be holding power long enough. Could be a memory problem... but you said you removed it and everything was still the same.

Interesting.

How long did you wait after you removed the new memory to see if it boots?

Try that.

Crucial memory is usually top notch, so I don't know. But bad memory is fairly common.

about the hibernation, if it was enabled then wonder who turned it on? Since you said it was working fine for a few days then all of a sudden (problems). what OS is this anyway and how old is this machine?

Avaya - shortly after your last post, I removed the new stick. I am just now getting it back up. Ain't turning it off again.It does show the right amount of memory.

Z-man/clgjr - XP home, 14 months.

How do I do a backup on XP?

Yeah, could be a memory problem. That's kind of funky though, don't know what the deal is.

As far as a backup. What type of backup device have you got? A CD burner?

XP should have a backup tool under Start > All Programs > Accesories > System Tools. It'll take quite a few CDs though.

After you do that, for the sake of argument...

Why don't you try removing ALL memory you have in there, and ONLY use the new stick you got from crucial.

See if you have any problems with just that stick.

I'm curious if it's an actual bad stick, or maybe it had bad contact, or maybe that slot is bad.
