I looked my computer up on Crucial.com and the site told me the RAM is PC2-5300 DDR2...I trusted the site because there was no sticker on the RAM. Well...when I installed the RAM I received an error. I proceeded to go to Staples.com to check their EDGE Memory finder and was told I need DDR2 PC2-4200. I confirmed this on a few other sites.
So, now my computer will not boot up properly and I am receiving the BIOS Beep code of 3 short beeps...I have a custom Video card installed (cannot remember nor locate which specific one).
By the way, the computer is an eMachines T5224.
I attempted to reseat the original RAM but the computer will not start up. I wanted to upgrade from the 1GB to the 2GB but I am not even sure if I will be able to use it anymore because of this...any idea on how to fix this? All I get on my screen is a blank screen so I am not sure what to do.
