Sometimes it helps if you remove the power completely for at least 30 seconds
when adding anything new (including pci cards) and then try again.  I had a
simular problem when adding a second cpu to a dual motherboard and it wouldn't
see the second one until I had powered it down completely and let it sit for a
couple minutes before trying again.  Then after reattaching the power cord and
powering it up the obvious change finally sunk into the bios and everything was
wonderful.  On that same board I had to remove power and reboot a few times
when pci cards were either removed or added.  Sometimes, not always, I had to
go into the bios and turn on the pnp bios detection option and then reboot but
that only works if you can boot in the first place.

A simular strategy might help with memory issues but maybe not.  Hard to say
from this angle.

Try removing the power source for awhile and try it again.  It might work.

:-)  That is always a good feature.

Life is good,
