Yes, I have put 1 stick in slot 0 by itself. Same result. I have also
tried it in slot 2. And also tried the other 1Gb stick on slot 0 by itself.
I cannot find anything on the packaging with the K-Byte 1Gb DDR2 4200/3200
PC2-533/400 240 Pin sticks (or on K-Byte's web) that indicates that they are
or are not unbufferred or non-ECC!
Next step is to return the sticks to store and have them check them.
Any other help will be great! Thanks.
Mark

Did you try 1 stick in slot 0 by itself? Usually the slots are
numbered. You may need to insert them into slots 0 and 2,
skipping one slot. But I would try the single one first in slot
0. Is your memory unbuffered non-ECC?
I'm having spontaneous reboots with an hp machine as well as other
errors, but I'm using 1 gb DDR. Everything was fine until I added
the 1 gb chip to the 3 x 512mb already installed.
Specs from HP for your motherboard:
* Dual-channel memory architecture
* 4 x 240-pin DIMM sockets support unbuffered non-ECC 4 GB
533/400 MHZ DDR2 memory modules
* Maximum HP/Compaq approved memory is 4 GB*
