RAM Question

[thayde1]

Do I need to reset the CMOS if I want to remove or install a new stick of RAM? And how do you do that exactly? I think I know how but not too sure.

Do not need to reset CMOS

What kind of RAM is it? DIMM? SIMM? RIMM?

How old is the system?

You should just be able to take out old RAM, and pop in new ones.

It's a brand new computer. DIMM DDR 333 PC 2700. It wont let me log into windows anymore and I keep gettin the blue screen of death. My comp was working fine when I had 3 x 512mb sticks in but I wanted to take one out so dual channel would work better. I have abit an8 ultra mobo, x850xt sapphire 256mb radeon, amd 64 3700, 500 W PSU, Seagate ATA 80gb harddrive

Blue screen error was different sometimes when I tried to install windows for a system repair. Errors like not ACPI compliant and windows ntfs errors.

I think dual channel is causing it to crash. try disabling it in BIOS. if it works, you know what the problem is.

Use Memtest, to check for RAM errors.

use it with and without dual channel on.
