whats the difference of the ram when one is 3/4 of the normal size? the one i got is 3/4 of the normal size, and im not sure if that makes the difference
 
so your ram is definately bad... did the person on ebay have a return policy... or is it still covered under warranty... if not you might be SOL...

EDIT: heres the sellers return policy

What ya mean? Are you saying that its a different size to the other one you have got installed??? If it is then thats ya problem, its not the same stuff!
 
well, theyre both 184 pin, PC3200, and 400 Mhz, but the one i got is just 3/4 of an average size of an normal ram
 
hmmm, somethings wierd, i have 2 ram before the 1gb one (the one that doesnt work) the two were a 512MB and an 128 MB, they both work, then i put the 128 MB in slot 0 and the 512 MB in the slot 1, it works. but when i put the 512 in slot 0 and 128 in slot 1, i have the same problem as the 1gb by itself.
