A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If the screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is porperly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer then press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select safe mode.

Technical Info:

I've tried rebooting and formating again and does same thing.

Could this mean one of my Ram sticks are bad?
It has 2x512 in it now 1gb and shows 959mb in bios.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

One of my ram is 512mb DDR333 and other is 512DDR PC2700 I dunno if that matters or not.

Have you installed all the necessary software for your hardware?

How to Test your RAM


Guide Overview

The purpose of this guide is to teach you how to check whether your system's RAM (Ramdom Access Memory) is working properly. Bad RAM can lead to a whole host of problems, often which do not appear to have a single cause -- appearing as systemwide glitches, blue screens, and other system trouble. MemTest86+ provides a very good detection mechanism for failed RAM, and is about as good a test you get short of actually replacing the module itself.

Tools Needed
Please perform these steps from a separate, working, machine.

• Download MemTest86+, and unzip it to your desktop.
  
• Burn the image file to a CD, as an image file. If you're unsure how to do this, see the How to Burn an ISO File tutorial.

Perform these steps on the problem machine.

• Put your CD in the drive and configure your machine to boot to the CD. This is different on all machines, but it's usually by pressing F12 or F10 as your system boots, and selecting either "CDROM" or your cdrom drive. If you are unable to force a CDRom boot, reply with the make and model of your machine and I should be able to get you exact instructions.
  
• If you've done it correctly, MemTest86+ will start to run automaticly, as shown below:
  
  
• If you want to be reasonably your RAM is OK, then allow MemTest to run until you see this message:
  
  
  On the other hand, if you want to be completely sure your RAM is OK, allow MemTest to run overnight. Memtest will run forever until power is pulled on the machine.
  
• Check the MemTest screen for any reported errors. Errors will appear as RED warnings at the bottom of the screen, similar to the following screenshot:
  
  
• Hard-Reset the machine, removing the MemTest disk in the process.

If you didn't get an error screen, Congratulations!

KK I can do this but shouldnt it show 1024gb with 1gb installed? In bios.

It should show that in the BIOS unless a stick of RAM is not supported.
