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.

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.

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.

There is a Elixir Part number, see the web site link below
and use there part numbering scheme, when you post back
the actual part number then I can do a better comparison.
http://www.elixir-memory.com/sup_name_rul_2.asp

Also you Gigabyte motherboard uses "MIT's" technology
which has been know to cause the PC to fail to boot on socket 775
motherboards when you first install new memory, this may or may not
be the case with the older sockets 478 motherboards.

The solution is to only install one memory stick and power up
the PC and let the BIOS "learn" the memory requirements
and then after a few successful reboots then install the second
memory stick.

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.

Compare how close the specs are between what

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

There is a Elixir Part number, see the web site link below
and use there part numbering scheme, when you post back
the actual part number then I can do a better comparison.
http://www.elixir-memory.com/sup_name_rul_2.asp

Also you Gigabyte motherboard uses "MIT's" technology
which has been know to cause the PC to fail to boot on socket 775
motherboards when you first install new memory, this may or may not
be the case with the older sockets 478 motherboards.

The solution is to only install one memory stick and power up
the PC and let the BIOS "learn" the memory requirements
and then after a few successful reboots then install the second
memory stick.

Hi Everyone

Thank you so much for trying to help me solve the problem i am having.

I checked Memory frequency in Bios and here what i found

Memory Frequency For [Auto]
Memory Frequency(MHZ) 400
AGP/PCI/SRC Frequency(MHZ) 66/33/100


Also here is what written on the old RAM which came with the
computer,Please tell me if it is the same compatible with the new RAM i
bought recently.Now i installed old RAM inorder to be able to use the
computer.

Old RAM : Two sticks of Elixir 256MB DDR-400MHZ, CL3 PC3200U-30330

New RAM: Two sticks of Kingston 1GB DDR PC-3200

Motherboard: Gigabyte Pentium 4 Titan Series, GA-8IPE1000-L Series
FSB 800 , Dual DDR 400, AGP 8X, 2004 GT Edition

Processor : 3.0GHZ Socket 478


I am not trying to install old RAM with new RAM,i am trying to only
install
the new RAM i got because i want more memory.If you can tell me if the
above
specifications are compatible i would be very much appreciated.Thanks
again

At one point, you said the package label read

Kingston: KVR800D2N6/1G 1GB PC2-6400 CL6 240-Pin DIMM

That is DDR2 memory. And yet, the memory module itself, has this for a label

1GB DDR PC-3200 CT1GD64SH08BL-5T

At least the first part of that, is consistent with DDR PC3200 memory.
The same type as the Elixir 256MB DDR400, CL3 PC3200U-30330.

I'm not able to find a match on the "CT1GD64SH08BL-5T" string.

If I look at a stick of Kingston "Valueram", it looks like this.
This is unbuffered PC3200 DDR memory, a 184 pin DIMM. There are
no small buffering chips in the middle of the module. There are
eight chips per side, because the module doesn't have ECC protection
via a ninth memory chip. Notice the part number, begins with "KVR",
not "CT".

http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/20-141-307-S02?$S640W$

This Crucial brand memory, begins with a CT part number.

http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggIma...148-089-02.jpg

You'll notice in this example, the Crucial part number is CT12864Z40B.
The 128x64 is 128 million locations by 8 bytes wide, for a total of
1GB of memory. So the "12864" translated to 1GB. The letters on the
end, appear to help identify the memory family (SDRAM, DDR, DDR2, DDR3)
and the speed grade.

http://www.provantage.com/crucial-te...b~7CIAL5AH.htm

So to start, I would look carefully again, at the label on the RAM.
A Crucial memory, is unlikely to ship in a Kingston box :-)

This is registered DDR memory. If you bought this, it won't work in
an 865PE chipset motherboard. This is used for server computers.
The extra funny chips in the center of the module, tell me this
is registered. the funny chips in the center, are smaller than
a regular memory chip. There are two register chips, and a
clock phase locked loop chip. These modules have nine memory chips
per side, meaning they also support ECC error protection. So the
module is actually registered ECC PC3200 server memory. They're quite
different looking, than the eight chip unbuffered UDIMM discusses first.
These would be RDIMM modules, where the R stands for Registered.

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

Why ask here? Your problem is related to pure hardware and has
nothing to do with XP (read the group title).

Hi JS

N2DS25680BT-ST
0351.EME03C1201B.120393M.XX.TW


Kingston: 1GB DDR PC-3200
ELPIDA , D5108AGTA-5B-E
CT1GD64SH08BL-5T


I tried installing one stick of 1GB then i booted it worked normally.Then
when i tried booting again it took around 20 seconds to boot up.I tried
booting a third time it didn't boot at all.Now i am using old RAM.Is it a RAM
problem or is it something with the power supply.Please help.


The memory chip, appears to be a 64Mx8 DDR PC3200 chip.

EDD5108AGTA-5B-E DDR400B(3-3-3)

If the module had 16 of those chips, it should be a good one.
A low density 1GB module, shouldn't have a problem with
an 865PE motherboard.
