Ok, Today I bought Two 1 gb RAM Sticks.
I put them both in ( I have 2 Slots Maximum 2gb)

I read on eof the BSoD's and It says
"PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

Then I can take one out and it works!
So Right now I Have 1-1gb and 1-528mb

Anyways.

I am Running A...........

Toshiba Satalite M115
Windows Vista Home Edition 32-Bit
Intel Celeron M CPU 420 @ 1.60 GHz
RAM 1406mb

Thanks For Helping Ahead of Time!

put one in, do a memory test (memtest86) then if it clears after 30 minutes, take it out and try the other stick. it there's error then that's your problem. BAD RAM.

you can also use vista memory management if you dont have a floppy or you can try the cd version.

The BSOD message wont help us. The point is, you have a faulty stick of RAM which you will have to return - and no, theres no way you can FIX this problem.

WRONG

Then I can take it our and put the other 1gb in and it works also

No, I am not wrong. Yet. Try this:
Put ONE stick in and run memtest for 2 hours, and then repeat the process for the other stick. If one fails, youll know where the problem lies.

Do you have more than two Ram slots? Try a combination of different slots, I've heard problems with certain slots being alergic to each other or something to that effect.

It's not necessarily the RAM, it could be the slot. You say you have tried both sticks individually but have you tried both slots?
