Help with Tyan Tiger and SDRAM

[Guest]

I have an older Tyan Tiger 1692S Slot One mother board and recently I purchased 4 PC133 128MB SDRAM DIMMs to give me a total of 512MB. Upon installation though, my system wouldn't even POST. I tried re-installing it several times to no avail. I checked the BIOS (AMIBIOS) to make sure there wasn't a setting to swith the frequency from PC100 to PC133; there wasn't.
I checked the manual to make sure that this was an acceptable memory configuration; it was. I even tested the memory on a friend's system and it was OK.
Can anyone think of a reason that my new memory wouldn't be compatible with my motherboard?

Thanks.

I'm assuming it's not screaming for the ram.
Have you tried replacing the old ram and seeing if that works?

Yes, in fact that's how I'm even able to send this reply.

put just one of the new SIMMS in and see if that works. i.e. K.I.S.S. until you debug your problem.
