Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM
Hi
Recently i installed new Kingston RAM two sticks of 1GB wanted to upgrade since i had 512MB RAM.After i installed new RAM computer took around 20 seconds to boot up,power light,hard disk and fans all working but no beep that happens at first when you boot up computer and nothing on the screen.Then it booted up normally.Couple of days ago when i started computer it didn't boot at all.Only power light,hard disk and fans are working but again nothing on the screen and no POST beep. I took off new RAM and installed the old ones that came with the computer.It booted up normally without any problem. Is it a problem with the new RAM i bought or a power supply problem.Please help me solve this problem. Specification of the new RAM i got is : two sticks of Kingston 1GB DDR PC-3200 Old RAM are 2x256MB 400MHZ Computer specification Motherboard: Gigabyte Pentium 4 Titan Series GA-8IPE1000 Series Intel 865 PE, FSB 800 Dual DDR 400 AGP 8x Power supply: Infinity 450W Video card: ATI 7500 Operating System: Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 Any help would be very much appreciated |

Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM
Try running Memtest86+, this runs from a boot disk or CD
and should eliminate or confirm if your ram is bad. Install only your Kingston memory before you start the test. Let it run for as long as you can, 2,4,6,8 or more hours, if no errors by then your ram is OK, but this appears to be a case of the wrong memory for your PC and I would expect it will fail within a short period of time is you are even able to boot from the memtest CD or floppy. See: http://www.memtest.org/ Also use the Crucial Memory Advisor Tool http://www.crucial.com/store/listmfgr.asp?cat=RAM Compare how close the specs are between what Crucial recommends and what the specs are for your Kingston memory. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "Pool" wrote in message ...

Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM
Hi JS
I already done that test and it gave me no errors.That is why i don't know if it is a RAM problem or something related to PSU.You said it could be a case of a wrong memory for my PC how should i know if this is the case.Motherboard handles till 4GB beside new RAM and old ones both have same bus 400.Help me please.

Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM
All memory is not alike, so the Kingston memory
specifications may not be the same as your older know good memory sticks. (Voltage, Speed, type single sided vs. double sided) Go to Kingston's web site and check the specs for the part number. Then go to the manufacture's web site for your 512MB sticks. Also it not a good idea in some cases to have both your old and new memory installed at the same time. If the new memory and this sometime happens it could explain the problem but you said you ran Memtest86+ on the new ram and it passed so it's not likely a Power Supply problem as memory does not use all that much power unless your overclocking. Try running Memtest86+ one more time and after say 15 Memtest86++ touch the case with your finger (removes any static charge) and then touch one of the memory chips or the heat spreader if it has one and see how hot the memory stick is, should only feel slightly warm to the touch, if it's very hot and your not overclocking (assuming the specifications are correct for your PC) then something's wrong. Please post back the make and model of your PC or if home built the motherboard make and model. Another tool is CPUZ (AKA CPUID), http://www.cpuid.com/ this will list your memory bus speed and the memory speed your new sticks are running at.(CPUID needs to run from Windows so may be only a to get the values from your older memory) -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "Pool" wrote in message ...

Worked fine from day 1. If one RAM module don't work for you, 2 is further self-abuse. Further, on page 15 of the motherboard manual: The following tables include all memory-installed combination types: (Please note that those types not in the tables will not boot up.) |

Hi Recently i installed new Kingston RAM two sticks of 1GB wanted to upgrade since i had 512MB RAM.After i installed new RAM computer took around 20 seconds to boot up,power light,hard disk and fans all working but no beep that happens at first when you boot up computer and nothing on the screen.Then it booted up normally.Couple of days ago when i started computer it didn't boot at all.Only power light,hard disk and fans are working but again nothing on the screen and no POST beep. I took off new RAM and installed the old ones that came with the computer.It booted up normally without any problem. Is it a problem with the new RAM i bought or a power supply problem.Please help me solve this problem. Specification of the new RAM i got is : two sticks of Kingston 1GB DDR PC-3200 Old RAM are 2x256MB 400MHZ Computer specification Motherboard: Gigabyte Pentium 4 Titan Series GA-8IPE1000 Series Intel 865 PE, FSB 800 Dual DDR 400 AGP 8x Power supply: Infinity 450W Video card: ATI 7500 Operating System: Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 Any help would be very much appreciated Have similar Gigabyte motherboard, except its the "Pro" version. 2 Crucial 512MB RAM modules in sockets 1 and 3. Worked fine from day 1. If one RAM module don't work for you, 2 is further self-abuse. Further, on page 15 of the motherboard manual: The following tables include all memory-installed combination types: (Please note that those types not in the tables will not boot up.) |

Let it run for as long as you can, 2,4,6,8 or more hours, if no errors by then your ram is OK, but this appears to be a case of the wrong memory for your PC and I would expect it will fail within a short period of time is you are even able to boot from the memtest CD or floppy.
