My 3620 hangs after boot.

Hi all,

I upgraded my 3620 router to 32Mb Flash but sometimes it hangs at boot, about 2 times out of 3. Memory has been bought from Kingston not from Cisco. What can I look for to sort out the problem?

I have two DIMM for the flash and IOS can be stored in one of them. How can I copy exactly one DIMM to the other so I can use indifferently one or the other and see which of them is the problem?

Alex.
