what is wrong with my laptop?

Some weeks ago my laptop would show crazy lines and colorful squares when i booted it up, so i took it to a friend of mine, and he figured out that it was a bad stick of ram.

I recently replaced the one he said was bad, but could only afford a 256mb instead of the original amount on the old stick, 512mb.

A couple of days after buying the new one, I'm back to the same problem unless the

"DIMM A" ram slot is vacant.

Any idea what the problem could be? :/

    You might not have enough ram to support your operating system.
