Can't add this ram, how come?
Hi, I currently have 512ram, and would like to add another 512.
But it didn't work
My current Ram: Samsung 512 pc2700 DDR333
The new ram i bought: Samsung 512 pc2700 DDR333
My system:
p4 2.53, ASUS P4PE, 512 RAM.
Other info: I bought my old ram last sept.
Althought the name of these 2 ram are the same, but they look different physically.
My first attempt:
I added the new ram into slot 2, started the machine, fan started to spin, but system won't start
My second attempt:
I took out my old ram and put my new one into slot 1, system starts, BIOS say i have 512 ram, but system reset during the window loading screen.
My third attempt:
I put my old ram into slot 1, and the new one into slot 3. System started, Bios said i have 1 gb of ram. But system reset during the window loading screen.
*** in my second and third attempt, It said window fail to load due to hardware change, and it prompt me to choose an option, run in safe mode, start up using last good config, or start up normally. i tried to start with safe mode, doesn't work.
What could be casuing the problem? Could it be my BIOS?
Please help.
thanks.
