| 1305745 | 2012-10-08 11:16:00 | Hi everyone, I recently decided to upgrade my RAM from 2x 1GB sticks to 2x 2GB sticks. After I placed the new sticks in, my computer started to loop a series of long beeps. After that, I tried putting in my old 1GB sticks back in and the beeping still occurs. I've tried to place each stick as a single and did that with every slot to no avail. I have noticed however, that when I do place the sticks in, I can still see the chips of the RAM close to the notch despite the fact that the clips of the slots on the sides are fully in and was wondering if that's a sign of the RAM not seated properly. I feel like I've pressed down enough pressure and anymore could cause damage. My specs are: Motherboard: GAM61SME-S2 Old RAM: ADQVE1A16 New RAM: KVR800D2N6/2G Thanks |

| 1305747 | 2012-10-08 19:44:00 | Well the windows version won't matter until he gets it to boot. If the RAM is inserted properly the clips should engage themselves and there is often a small click sound. The contacts on the bottom of the RAM should be only very slighty visible above the slot. I'm not sure what you mean by the chips being visible, they always are in my experience? You haven't attempted to put the RAM in the wrong way around and damaged the slot perhaps?. If you are sure it's plugged in right and it still won't boot this one really sounds like you need to seek professional help as simply putting it back how it was before you started should have sorted everything out. Go over all your connections and cables and check they are all in firmly and you haven't knocked anyting loose. Check the graphics card is seated porperly and any power connections to it are secure as well. Although it's most likely RAM related due to what you've done it's also possible you've upset something else while working on the RAM. |

| 1305751 | 2012-10-08 21:37:00 | Where there's a will, there's a way! All is needed is a chisel and a hammer :p Have you tried inserting only one 2GB Ram stick and see if the PC boots up? |

| 1305752 | 2012-10-08 21:58:00 | I might be mis-reading but the supported RAM list for that board only accepts DDR2-533 in 2GB modules... unless they've done a bios update. Your KVR800D2N6 is DDR2-800. | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1305753 | 2012-10-08 22:00:00 | the board might be only able to accept 1GB sticks, or wont accept 4GB of ram | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1305754 | 2012-10-08 23:13:00 | What version of windows is on it?? dugimodo (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) beat me to it. |
