Hi friends I am using a VIA chipset motherboard with 2X 128MB SD RAM 133 Mhz RAM. From 2 days one of the RAM stick is not getting detected. I swapped their positions but no luck. I checked after some time keeping both modules inside and shut down the PC and discovered that both the sticks had become hot as if both of them were working! I am unable to figure out the problem. Please help! I can't run even Notepad playing songs! plEASEEEEEEEEEE help!

Remove the stick which is working and boot with the non working one.If it doesn't work,try the other slot.Still no luck?Get a new stick.

give a try to @sashijoseph suggestion. And post the result here.And dont buy the RAM :D
Even if your RAM is not working (may be any cause)..it will be heated if inserted in RAM slot.
