what operating system is it running and what version of that operating system? possibly if its that old, i'm thinking its a 16 bit OS and an addressing limitation issue. also you may have not fully installed the module, if you had another module in there it would just continue to boot without posting. but since the new one isn't seated properly you wouldn't be able to use it

It might help if you would actually post the model number of that laptop. It likely doesn't support high-density RAM or you just have a bad stick.
