    Alienware memory upgrade problem - help

    Alienware Area-51m M5750 17" 1920X1200
    Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 2.16GHz ATI X1900 Radeon
    (2) 320GB Seagate Momentus 7200 RPM Drives RAID 1


    Going to Win 7 I relalized 2GB was not enough memory for smooth computing so I ordered (2) Samsung 2GB 2Rx8 PC2 5300S modules for a total of 4GB. They came in today and I installed them, the Alien refused to boot, tried swapping positions - NO BOOT, put my 1GB modules back in no problem booted fine. Tried each of the new modules alone (2GB) and it booted right up no problem with either one. I can't boot with both installed however - any ideas???
