I had already done that on the RAM I had.  It was showing lots of errors.  So I purchased two new 
Kingston 512's and one is still doing the same thing.  When I tried the second new Kingston 512 it 
went in loops.  It would go to the Ubuntu boot screen, I'd click on "Install" and it would begin, 
then go back to the e-Machines screen....   and start new again into the Ubuntu screen.  <grimace>

Soooooo, I would venture to say it's something else.  But what???
