SDRAM problem with intel 815EEA mothermoard

Hi everyone!

I got a problem installing my new stick of 256 MB SDRAM 133 mHz. When
I boot, the BIOS loads and after the logo and BIOS messages, the
computer frooze and the floppy drive light still open. When I remove
my new stick of RAM, everything work perfectly.
Is it possible that 256 mb of ram is a too big amount of memory for
this motherboard? I already have 128 in my system.
I don't know what to do... I updated the BIOS but nothing changed...
Thanks in advance!

What does the motherboard manual say about installing Ram ?
What types in what slots and so on...

The 815 chipset supports 256mb if it's the correct type.

Tanks for your answer...

I read all the motherboard doc and I have the right type of RAM.
Today, the system booted when I changed the order of sticks in the
slots.... but all the memory was corrupted!! I don't understand the
problem... it's very weird.

Bad memory stick. It happens sometimes.
