    when i install my 1 gb ram for my 3520gz laptop, i get the blue screen of death!

    when i take if out, my laptop seems to work fine.

    the ram that i purchased is PNY technologies pc2700 ddr-333/266.

    did i purchase the wrong ram for my laptop? it doesnt seem to work. do i need to upgrade bios or something? my old ram that came with the laptop, samsung pc2700, doesnt seem to work too. when i put that in, i get the same error. anyone know whats up? help!

    Maybe it's not seating properly

    Make sure they pop or click in all the way and seat evenly.
