ram

check that your/his BIOS are at the same version...........

also try reseating all the sticks into different slots
( I know that sounds weird but Ive seen it before)

thats a head scratcher...
i agree with sniper about the bios, i'd only add that you need to make sure there is no dust in the unused slots

if all 4 sticks of ram are the EXACT same (ie timings) then there shouldnt be a problem, if not, make sure the board isnt overclocked at all and manually set the ram to the higher timings of the two pairs in the bios

you might also boot with the original 2 sticks and check the voltages, then add 1 of the new sticks and see if the voltages drop, you may need a new power supply if it drops a lot
if it still doesnt boot with 3 sticks then you might have a bad mobo
check the caps and make sure that none are swollen
even a little bit of swelling or leakage could mean a fucked board

if nothing else, get memtest and check all of his sticks in your board just to be sure that his ram isnt defective

fuck you just made my post look like Readers Digest


:afro: :afro: :afro:

i do shit like this for a living, and i can be pretty longwinded when i want

probaly will not work but try taking the battery off of the motherboard

ok now we are talking about ram.. could i change 2x 512 mb to 2 x 2 gb, i have 1.73 GHz, 533MGz FSB, 2MB L2cache... and i dont know what it means but thats what i can read... ow and 100 GB HDD (5400 rpm)

i think any compter can have any amount of ram if its got the slots for it.. 4 slots on mine and i am only using 2 slots (2 gb) but lets not let me be the pro.. thats fuzions job

try inserting your penis into the nearest electrical outlet.



that is all.

i wanna get 2 gigs of ram ... but wats the difference between them sticks of 1 gig

probably made by a different company

it all depends on your MOBO
sheck to see if it supports 2x1GB

what does your MOBO support?
DDR2 wont work with DDR MB and vice versa

what MOBO you have?

It's alive! :ninja eyes m:

sniper its ddr for sure

barely, though i'll be more active now that i'm off the crack, heroin and buttsex with amish sheep

so thats where u have been :lol:

What Mojo i have ? ..... o wait now i see.. Mobo

i guess Mobo = Motherboard.. where can i see what it support, and where can i find the MOBO :Bucktooth:

but i can read somewhere that i have : 1GB DDR2 (support dual-channel), dont know if it is good or not so if you want to tell me that would be great

i wonder if waffles ever got this shit working
