Not sure if I got this right, but what happens when you put back the 
2x64mb, i.e. back to the original configuration? If it still fails with 
2x64, then you may have disturbed a pcb or a cable. Check all pcb's are 
properly inserted and all cable connections are good. From what you say, 
it works with 1x128mb?

Did you put the 128mb in slot 0?

Probably not much help, but who knows? I have a Dell with the same 
config but 1x128mb in slot 0.
Good luck
