Only for GEEKS: I cant install this Ram memory!!?

Question

I just bought a 1Gb ddr ram that is supposed to work on mi motherboard, but i have the following problem:

If i put it alone (whithout the old memory card i had) the pc doesnt work and the bios makes a beeping sound that acording to the web page means that theres a grafic problem.

If i put both cards(the old and the new one) on the motherboard, then it works but an error message says that theres a missing file and windows doesnt start.

If i put only the old memory on the motherboard then the computer works fine like always did

WTF is going on???

Answer 1

Your memory must be compatible with you motherboard. If you still have the manuals that came with your computer or motherboard it should tell you what of memory and how much memory it will allow.



If you do not know where the manuals are, and do not know your motherboards make and model, you can go here.

Click 'Scan My Computer' at the top of the page and it will tell you what kind of memory you need as well as what your motherboard is.

Answer 2

No such thing as RAM Memory - its just plain RAM.



Check again to confirm your motherboard supports the RAM you are trying to use and that it doesn't have to be installed in pairs.



Double check the beep codes for your BIOS - you'll probably find that it is a memory issue, not a graphic one.

Answer 3

Either the new memory is bad, or it is not compatible with the motherboard. Example: If you had ddr 200 and trying to use ddr 400, it will not work.

Answer 4

maybe your new memory is damaged. you should take it back to the shop exchange it .try the new one and if that does not work try asking an expert
