699235 2008-08-21 22:45:00 Hi

I have a T2-P Computer and it has 2x 512MB DDR400 Ram

I just bought 2x 1GB DDR PC3200 RaM

I place the ram in the computer and once the power was on.The fan was spinning hard out and the computer didn't boot up.Nothing displayed on the monitor

The ram is clipped onto the motherboard tighly so the ram isn't lose

When I put the 2x 512mb back in the computet workrf fine

I tried 1GB and a 512mb in the 2 DIMM i have and it didn't boot up but the fan was spinning very fast.There were no errors nothing on the monitor.The blue light is on and the fan just spins like crazy

Any ideas why?

It supports up to 2GB

It says it does

www.asus.com

Are there such thing as a 1GB CL2 DDR 400.I think the ram it was using was Cl2 512MB DDR400 ?

I have a 1GB CL3 DDR400 with me
