Hello, My ignorance has brought me another bad experience with an online purchase...
two days ago i ordered the
Corsair VS512MB400 Value Select
its 184 pin DDR-DIMM
From NewEgg.com
my current Ram is also 184 pin, 256mb made my Elixir.
when i put in the chip, after shutting off my PSU and unplugging it, and then turn it back on, all it does is beep and blinks... nothing on screen and cpu fan and all is running. it does that for about 3 mins then shuts itself down.
i tried it on my sisters computer as well with the same results.
What can i do to get this chip working??? is it the speed settings or something?
is it the dimm thing??
they're both ddr...?
if this really isnt my upgrade, what chip should i purchase?
My Mother Board is the NForce4-A939
by ECS EliteGroup
rest of specs in signature.
PSU of 350 watts.
BOTH OF MY RAMS NEXT TO EACHER WITH THE CORSAIR IN THE BOX THING.
