    Reset in the sense, that it does not POST.

    Power-On Self Test -- Small digits/characters appear on the screen giving details of the initiated hardware. Do you see that ?

    Does some Toshiba screen come up or the screen just remains blank ?

    Have you tried to load, with a single 1GB module installed ? <-- (Tried this with both the modules ?)

    no screen loads

    i have tried every combination i can think of i have a few laptops that i have used the memory in and out of.. they are fine i checked them..

    so 3 sticks of 1 gb ram and 1 512 gb stick... none of them will boot together or by themself to boot the system, the 512 mb stick must be install with any of them

    Check if there is a BIOS update.
    Updating the BIOS could fix these faults.
