There are a couple of other things to try, however, the above seems the most likely. If these suggestions didn't work, you could try cleaning the contacts of the memory.

To do this, take the stick of memory out (observing mains safety precautions and holding the stick by the edges). Then get a soft pencil rubber and gently move it over the contacts, ensuring all bits of rubber are blown off the stick. Replace the memory.

Thanks for the suggestions folks - the memory didn't seem to be loose but I removed it anyway and put it back in again and, hey presto, my PC is working again.

Thanks for all your help and now I have to get back to work on my original problem of why the digital camera and card reader are causing Windows to crash when connected - I think I might have to upgrade to Windows XP......
