I have never had a problem like this before. I purchased an hp laptop
for my wife with vista installed. After several months she told me how
slow it was so I decided to upgrade to two gig. I purchased crucial
memory and installed. Since then it has been nothing short of a
nightmare. The machine will suddenly stop booting, then it will
magically boot again then it will stop. It is not the hard drive because
when this happens if I pop my XP boot disk it still will not boot. I
discussed this with crucial and they sent me a new upgrade kit. It
worked for a couple of days and now I am right back where I started. Is
there something that needs to be done to vista or am I totally in the
wrong forum. Forgive me if that is the case.

Hi bandahanson,

This only started since you changed the RAM ? Also, cannot boot from
your xp cd - doesn't seem to be a Vista issue.

There are some members who know a lot about hardware issues - hopefully
will see this and help you out.
