Installing 4GB of ram?
Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? I received this model of ram:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
I have a HP C571NR, and my "product number" is GF572UA#ABA, and it is running Windows XP Home Edition.
I have tested all of my ram modules, and they work great individually, but when I take a 2GB module and any other module (512MB, which were the ones that were included with my computer, or the second 2GB module), my bios never shows up.
Is this a problem with my motherboard? Is it not able to support 4GB? Helpful/insightful responses would be appreciated.
Damn it, my motherboard only supports 2GB..... this sucks. oh well, thanks for pointing me to the right answer!

Even though you've discovered the source of your problems, i feel like i should point out that XP doesn't support 4GB of RAM anyway. However, vista does. If you put 4GB of ram, I believe it will only show 3.25GB on system stats or something like that.

Hi,
As far as I can see the max memory is 2gig.
The HP manual is not very helpful on this point.8-((
It may need 2 x 1gig but I can't be sure.
I would check with HP directly to be sure that yo have the right memory and the correct configuration.
XP home being a 32 bit application will only use up to 2gig without the optional 3gig switch in the boot up file.
