After adding ram internet stops

XP computer.  I have replaced 512 ram with 2 g on an hp wwindows xp sp3.   From the little I have been able to learn, this has somehow screwedup the registry.  I have used regcure , but no help.

Hi,

I doubt adding RAM to your system would corrupt or change your registry.

Can i ask you to elaborate a little more on exactly what happens possibly give us a scenario so that we can assist you further with this problem.

Thanks,   I replaced the 2 ram strips in the xp computer which speededup most operations.  But I could not connect to Internet Explorer.  I took the ram cards out and put them into another zp computer.  Same thing happened, no internet.  Internet was ok on both computers prior to adding the 2 g ram.  I checked Google, and that's where I discovered that the problem was most likely registry.  So, I am still at a loss.
Internet Explorer is the only problem???
Have you attempted to use any other function of your PC???

When installing things like RAM i would always suggest running the latest BIOS update for your mainboard i doubt this is your issue.

Do you have your Windows XP Media???

Yes, everything else seems to be OK.  I think I have the system recovery disks.  Note also that this is 1 of  computers on a LAN.  The othe computer gets into internet all OK.

i never heard that more ram changed the internet behavior.
there's something else loose here; possibly bad ram
check if all the ram is seen in the bios, and in Windows
you can also run memtest to verify if it's ok :   www.memtest.org

Hold everything.  I've taken the computer to a pro repair shop.  When I find out the problem, I'll let all know.

Thanks
