Been trying to upgrade my RAM because 2GB just doesn't cut it anymore. Got 2 more of the same exact RAM that I have and I keep getting a d5 error on my board. Won't let go to the BIOs and can't do anything from there. Even tried 2x2GB Kensington PC6400 from my dad's computer. Same deal. Not sure what's going on, never had issues installing RAM before.
 
Its possible that the 2 different sets of ram don't like each other. Have you tried just using the new ram, does it boot?
 
The problem might be that the motherboard isn't capable of supporting the specific ram modules you bought. Check into the motherboard's guide to see which types it supports and make sure that you don't exceed the maximum ram supported, as that would also cause problems.
