Is this the kind of boot that stores the dram contents in a
hibernation partition on disk?  If so, is that partition still big
enough to hold all of it after you added the extra dram?  It almost
sounds like it isn't, or the bios isn't storing all the dram contents
for some other reason.

I recall looking into adding more dram to an old laptop a few years
ago and there wasn't any documentation that I could find for the
format of the hibernation partition or how to create it without using
the manufacturer's "rescue" CD that started out by erasing the whole
disk.
