1292698	2012-08-04 02:09:00	Ok, Went to install the Ram that the Error Guy sent me. Slotted it in fine (I think), went to boot up, and got a beeep, beeep, beeep, error message. Removed the new ram, and it booted up fine. Any ideas?	Nick G (16709)
1292699	2012-08-04 02:30:00	Is it the same kind of ram?? Dont mix DDR with DDR2 or DDR3. It wont work, or fit in the slot	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1292700	2012-08-04 02:34:00	Is it the same kind of ram?? Dont mix DDR with DDR2 or DDR3. It wont work, or fit in the slot Yup, they are both DDR. I had 2x512mb DDR, and am trying to slot in another 256mb of DDR. The clock speed is different, would this do it?	Nick G (16709)
1292701	2012-08-04 02:45:00	How much ram did it have (when it worked)?? 1 GB? And how many slots does the mobo have? The new ram you installed maybe faulty. Will the system boot if you put the new ram in by itself? Is it single or double sided ram?? Some mobos can be fussy, with the kind of ram you install on it	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1292702	2012-08-04 02:49:00	It had 1gb when it worked. It has 4 slots, so two spare. And, without knowing a lot about RAM, I'd guess single sided ram. It looks the same as the original anyway. Also, when the new ram isn't there, the pc boots up fine.	Nick G (16709)
1292703	2012-08-04 02:52:00	Tried the new ram by its self?	stratex5 (16685)
1292704	2012-08-04 03:01:00	Tried the new ram by its self? Not yet, will when I can get my hands on the pc again :D	Nick G (16709)
1292705	2012-08-04 06:55:00	Make sure it's seated correctly, it will beep if it isn't. Place it in push down and both ends, and the clips should flick up and in the slots.	pctek (84)
1292706	2012-08-05 11:35:00	And make sure the RAM doesn't slip sideways and split the socket!	linw (53)
