Hmm, speaking of the BIOS - i recently upgraded it to a newer version (straight after i had reformatted/recovered the system) but ive never had this problem before, so i doubt thats the problem.

The Bios also reads both sticks fine (512mb), so im stuck

Try it with first one stick , and then the other. (unplug the power cord when removing/switching)

After updating the bios , did you change any settings in there?

nope, left it all, the only "new" option i noticed in the bios is turning hyper threading on/off, and a slightly new interface.

but no, ive not change anything to do with the bios whatsoever.

i also just checked the RAM sticks, where fine (removed pc tower, but pulled em out anyway) they are fine, bit dusty, but fine

But did you also try them one at a time?
They might look brand new on the outside , but inside they still could be busted.

PS, i don't really understand with what you mean with "removed pc tower".
And you could try to load the "default settings" in youre bios.
