Hello!

I upgraded my memory, I bought a new one of DDR2 2GB, the same model as the previous one of 1GB but when I start up the computer, the monitor is black and it won't boot.
I put both and didn't work. I put the new one in the first slot (where it stayed the first one) and didn't work. I switched them and I switched slots too.
There is nothing plugged in the computer, except the monitor, when I test them out. Also there is no beep and I even took out the CMOS battery (someone suggested that to me). When I put back the old memory everything is fine.
My motherboard is P5 GT MX/1333: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5GCMX1333/

What should I do?
 
Solution
Might try unplugging, clear the CMOS, then try installing the new stick in slot 1 closet to the CPU and see if it picks it up, also make sure you have the latest BIOS
