problem with my system...

Okay. Whenever I start up my computer(its a dimension 4600), I get the error,"OS Installation failed! Memory limited to 256 MB." The memory is the ram in this case. What do I do? I just bought new RAM sticks today and that error is preventing them from being used. Anyone know whats going on here?

Remove the new RAM. Does the error disappear? If so, it's faulty or incompatible.

Actually, the RAM is compatible and not faulty. I have been getting this error before I bought the new RAM sticks. At first I didn't think anything of it.

CMDR Reservoir,
Turn off OS Install Mode in your system's BIOS.
