I am adding ram to my computer and after I turn it back on, during start up it states "0232;extended RAM failed at offset;" what can I do to fix this?

It is likely that the new ram is either incompatible with your old RAM, or your motherboard.

If your motherboard uses 72 pin SIMM RAM, you need to install the memory in matched pairs.
All banks of RAM must be the same type (EDO, FPM, Parity)

If you are using 168 pin DIMMs, many older motherboards will not function with the newest DIMMs.
Check out either the manual, the motherboard/system mfgs web site, or the major memory manufactures for compatible ram.
