Hi welcome to PCHF...
Did you buy 1 x 2 gig sticks ?
or was the Crucial-scanner from before the upgrade ?
It is only showing 1 Gig and three free slots-- so if you have 2x 1gig sticks one may be bad-- or not seated correctly.

Hi Crucial-scanner was from before the upgrade. this 1GB is ok

OK--
I have done some research on that maker-- and I would have to call them a "questionable" maker. Online reviews are not 100% reliable but... I would say that 40-50% that I read said "stay away" from Elixir.
Kingston makes some decent value-ram
