I upgrated my labtop Toshiba with Additional 128MB. I updated my WIN 98 - XP, the RAM worked for 5 months and than not recognised any more. I purchased the same type of RAM, it works for sometimes but when I hibernated and restarted the machine it gave error and the RAM is not recognised any more.

The RAM recognition is not a function of the OS, so 98-XP is not a factor.

You easily may have flaky RAM (or incompatible), even if it came from a reputable source. The simplest test is a module that you know works (i.e. from another like PC) andif the problem goes away it's the memory module itself.

Otherwise you may be looking at some troubleshooting via a good tech. Hard to find!!

Thanks for your reply. I updated my BIOS as recommanded but I still have the same problem. I tried the same in another machine it works fine.
