Kingston KVR333X64SC25/1G 1GB DDR1 / PC 2700 / DDR 333
Just bought 1x 1GB stick of Kingston Value RAM, Model: KVR333X64SC25/1G Type: SO-DIMM Shows up perfectly as: Memory: 1024 MB [2.5-3-3-7] NAS: ReadyNAS NV+ [X-RAID] Firmware: RAIDiator 4.1....

I purchased an NV+ a couple months ago and it's been running smoothly(there were some unresolved issues with permissions being part of a domain with AD). I decided it was time for an upgrade and I read good things about the Kingston KVR333X64SC25/1G and I upgraded.
So far what is happening is that It will say "Booting, Please Wait..." and then it goes to another screen that just says "Booting" and freezes there. I've tried resetting the OS, doing a factory default, updating firmware from usb, and it still freezes at boot. I get no network connectivity and there are no HD leds lit. The power button is blinking at "booting, please wait..." and then solid at "booting". If it helps I have 3 Hitachi 2TB drives installed and working with a lot of data!
I have to reinstall the original memory to get it to boot so this leads me to believe I have bad memory. What boggles my mind is that I have run 2 memory tests on both sticks of ram and both pass.
If anyone can help, many thanks in advance!
Memtests aren't 100% perfect. And perhaps your NV+ is a different revision that mine? Perhaps just RMA'ing it and trying another stick will sort it out :)
