I am trying to replace the memory on an old motherboard, a Tekram P5H30-WS (Manual: http://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/Archiv...anuals/p5h30ws /P5H30-S12a.PDF)

Now, according to that manual the mobo can accept 128MB 72-pin SIMM memory, with a max of 512MB (128x4). So I went ahead and ordered some memory for it:

ATC 128MB 72p 60ns 18c 8x8 8K Buffered ECC EDO SIMM

(From: http://www.memoryx.net/atcgsa.html)

The old memory in it was

IBM 8mb 72p 70ns Simm Memory Module (Part No.: 74G1188)

When I install the 128MB memory the computer makes a tiny effort to start, and then shuts down (by effort, I mean the fans moves slightly before it shuts off). This occurs when all the memory is in, and when half the memory is in (And those are the only two options since it is SIMM). If I put the old memory back in, it works fine. If there is no memory in it at all, it still functions (it just doesnt boot up, and beeps a bunch )

So I am all out of ideas. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
