So if he takes the new RAM out of the system and leaves the old module, do the problems go away?
Sounds like you may have encountered multiple problems that aren't necessarily related. Always perform one upgrade at a time and avoid upgrading again until after you're sure the previous upgrade worked!

I would side with the rest of the group here in that it is probably faulty memory, improperly seated memory, dirty slots, or wrong memory speed.
The fact that the problem occurs with Norton installed is merely the fact that Norton scans the memory...my guess, or at least is trying to use certain portions of it.
Definitely try returning/replacing the modules to see if the problems go away.

if you are are putting a new module in with the old one (so you have 2 modules in there now), try putting the new ram in the slot the working one is in, if it works then put the old ram in a different slot..you should have 3 slots to play around with -Greg :-Q
