| 813579 | 2009-09-25 01:04:00 | I bought a new ram card recently (1GB DDR RAM, PC1200, 266Mhz) for my Dell Optiplex GX260 (desktop), but I'm having some funny issues when I install it... my screen can't pick up a signal. However, when I remove the card again, everything works fine again. Before I bought the card, I looked up my computers specifications to make sure it'd be compatible, and it gave me the all-clear. My two other ram cards are the exact same in description (DDR RAM, PC1200, 266Mhz), sooo... I've NO idea what's going wrong. Any clues? |

| 813581 | 2009-09-25 01:28:00 | Is it the only stick in the RAM slots?, if not remove the other... Just tried that, but nothing... same problem. Also, I've noticed something odd... whenever I install the new card and switch the computer back on at the wall, my computer starts by itself straight after. |

| 813582 | 2009-09-25 01:51:00 | If you are absolutely sure that the RAM stick (it is not a card, by the way) is of the same type as currently in the computer, try removing all of the current sticks and put the new one in Slot 1 . If the problem/s still remain then it is likely that you have a faulty stick . Return to the seller for an exchange or refund . Some motherboards are fussy about which slots are used . Check the motherboard manual for specific instructions . |
