Bad sticks there,
BSOD screens?
finding good memory for such and old PC is not easy
did you buy them direct from Crucial or Kingston, ? or off fleabay.?
memory must match the MMC, chip, memory managers.
and the specs are not trivial. at all.
if it runs on the old sticks and not on the new,?
why wonder why, ( answer wrong sticks or bad sticks.)
#1 reason for this is memory
#2 is XP (and bad drivers to it)
buy from Crucial?
btw, why not test the sticks 1 by 1,
see which one is bad, and if all are identical (new set) then
all can be bad if using wrong sticks.
speed (too slow, faster is ok)
density rules, lots,... the older the CPU the worse this gets.
HP dropped all support on A-nnnnn PCs
so the pages showing all memory that work is gone now.
leaving only top memory makers are authorities no same.
I say ask them. in all cases this old PC.
Memory stick problems
maybe the system cannot handle the memory now installed
SOURCE: can I use one 1G ram module to upgrage memory or
yes, you can providing it is the same family, ie ddr2888 or 553 ect but might slow machine down, It is always better to do an exact match,

Hi,
the dreaded Blue-Screen of death.
Usually caused by:- Ram Failure ( memory Modules )
CPU Failure ( Processor Failure )
Hard-Disk faulty, not spinning et,c.
Cmos battery fault.
Missing/deleted/corrupted operating System files.
Possible Solutions:- remove cmos battery, from Motherboard for 10 seconds and replace. ( eliminates cmos/bios errors )
remove 1 stick of Memory ( Ram ) and test individually ( eliminates 1 or More Faulty sticks Of memory Or Slots )
remove, CPU Fan/heatsink, remove CPU and re-seat, re-grease with Artic-Silver or similar ( thermal-Compound ) replace heatsink/Fan. test.
Hope this points you towards a Sucessful repair.

yes the 2 computers are different. Different processors, different memory,different graphics card.To get your ide drive from your hp pavilion a510n to work in your hp pavilion a1330n, you will have to completely re-load the drive when it is installed in the hp pavilion 1330n. Then it will work fine, but you will not be able to use that drive in your hp pavilion a510n. because you will have the same problem but in reverse.
SOURCE: HP pavilion a6554f won't boot
Then what happens next? did the computer successfully restarted after the diagnose?

Hi.
This sounds like your bios has gotten "stuck".
This procedure may or may not work, but it has worked for other hp/compaq computers in the past.
First, if you are connected with an ethernet cable disconnect it from the computer.
Next, disconnect the power cord, so that there is no power at all going into your pc.
Now, while it is unplugged, press and hold the power button, and hold it for at LEAST 45 seconds, this causes the capacitors to discharge their loads, and returns the motherboard to a "ready" state.
Make sure that you hold it for at least 45 seconds, as it takes that long for a full discharge to occur.
Now, after that, reconnect the power cord.
Now try to turn on your computer.
If all goes as planned, then your computer should now boot up for you.
If it does boot up, then you can reconnect the ethernet cable.
If it doesn't boot, then either your hard drive, power supply, or drive controller portion of the motherboard has failed.
If that is the case, then I guess you will have to get replacement parts, and put in new for old.
I hope it's not the hard drive, because that would mean all your data would be lost.
Hopefully, this does work though.
After all, it is an official cold reset of the motherboard for HP computers.
I know the steps by heart, that's why it's so easy for me to tell you how to do it.
Good luck to you, and hopefully you'll be up and running in a matter of minutes!
several beeps in a system is caused by a memory issue -- If you've recently added or tried to add additional memory to the computer and have started getting these beeps. Remove all new memory you've added to the computer. If the computer works fine after removing the new memory you're encountering either an incompatibility or defective new memory.
Sometimes when the computer is moved and/or over time a memory stick can become loose causing the computer to be unable to read the memory or get errors as it's reading it. Try fixing this issue by opening the computer removing each of the memory sticks you have in the computer and then placing them back into the computer.
If reseating the memory did not resolve the issue try swapping the location of the memory. If you have only one stick of memory in the computer try moving it to another slot and then boot the computer.
If you have more than one stick of memory try removing all but one stick of memory and boot the computer. If this does not resolve the issue try removing that stick of memory and try one of the other sticks of memory.
the specs can be found at this link
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim4600/en/4600i/sm/specs.htm
the system you have is upgradable to 4G of RAM, and this RAM must be installed in equal pairs
so if you have 4 slots to insert memory in (assuming you will retain the 2 256M) , you must install the other slots by 2 512M, 2 1G or 2 2G DIMMs -- make sure you isntall exact same DIMMs, dont mix memory makers or specs, other than what Dell specifies
memory type must be
PC2700 (333-MHz) or PC3200 (400-MHz) DDR SDRAM
(non-ECC)
i hope this helps --
