My motherboard has 1 stick of 2gb ram and can support up to 4gb total, so I bought exactly the same stick of ram. However, once I installed it the computer would get stuck on "Verifying DMI Pool data". The first time I started it up it did say "Verifying DMI pool data..... Update Success".
If I remove the new stick, it boots up fine. I tried resetting the BIOS data and also enabling "update ESCD" but to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: The BIOS recognizes the new stick of RAM and even states that it is operating in Dual-Channel mode.
