Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM

Hi JS Here are the specifications of both new and old RAM Elixir 256MB DDR-400MHZ , PC3200U-30330 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) http://www.elpida.com/en/products/de...D5108AGTA.html 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. Paul |

Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM
It's sound more and more like M.I.T settings
in your BIOS. What you need to do is only insert one memory stick, boot and see if you can immediately enter the BIOS. Do this by "Powering ON the computer and pressing Del key several time to immediately will allow you to enter BIOS setup. If you can select "Load Optimized Defaults", then Save and Exit the BIOS. Then power down, turn off the power supply or remove the power cord wait 30 seconds and insert the second memory stick.Power up and if see if all is well. If still having problems power down and remove one stick. Then power up and from the main BIOS Menu enter the "Check PC Health" status. (Page 53 of the motherboard manual) Next check the "Frequency and Voltage Control" The "CPU Core voltage" , "Memory Frequency (MHz)" and "CPU Host Frequency (MHz)" Note: Mem Freq number must be equal to or less the Ram Stick ratings. (Page 55) Same for memory voltages. If you can change the After you check and adjust any values if necessary go back to the main BIOS menu and press Ctrl+F1, Gigabyte sometime hides the advanced setting from users. Let me know if Ctrl+F1 brings up any additional bios settings -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "Pool" wrote in message ...

Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM
Hi JS
I cannot get the computer to boot using 1GB RAM so i have no way to enter BIOS.I can give you the information you wanted to know in BIOS using 256MB RAM which is installed to be able to use the computer PC Health Status VCore OK DDR25V OK +3.3V OK +5V Ok +12V OK Current CPU Temperature 64C Current CPU FAN Speed 3835 RPM Current System FAN Speed 0 RPM Frequency / Voltage Control CPU Host Clock Control [Disabled] CPU Host Frequency(MHZ) 100 AGP/PCI/SRC Fixed 66/33/100 Memory Frequency For [Auto] Memory Frequency(MHZ) 400 AGP/PCI/SRC Frequency(MHZ) 66/33/100 DIMM over Voltage Control [Normal] AGP over Voltage Control [Normal] CPU Voltage Control [Normal] Normal CPU VCore 1.5256V Advanced Chipest Features Configure DRAM Timing [SPD] CAS Latency Time 3 Active to Percharge Delay 8 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay 3 DRAM RAS# Percharge 3 Refresh Mode Select 7.8 us When i pressed on CTRL+F1 it didn't give me anything Please tell me what i shall i do next. If i consider getting a new RAM what are the specifications i should look for inorder to be sure it will work with the motherboard i have.Also do you think changing power supply unit could solve the problem because lately it's Fan make noises not like it used to be.Thanks again It's sound more and more like M.I.T settings in your BIOS. What you need to do is only insert one memory stick, boot and see if you can immediately enter the BIOS. Do this by "Powering ON the computer and pressing Del key several time to immediately will allow you to enter BIOS setup. If you can select "Load Optimized Defaults", then Save and Exit the BIOS. Then power down, turn off the power supply or remove the power cord wait 30 seconds and insert the second memory stick.Power up and if see if all is well. If still having problems power down and remove one stick. Then power up and from the main BIOS Menu enter the "Check PC Health" status. (Page 53 of the motherboard manual) Next check the "Frequency and Voltage Control" The "CPU Core voltage" , "Memory Frequency (MHz)" and "CPU Host Frequency (MHz)" Note: Mem Freq number must be equal to or less the Ram Stick ratings. (Page 55) Same for memory voltages. If you can change the After you check and adjust any values if necessary go back to the main BIOS menu and press Ctrl+F1, Gigabyte sometime hides the advanced setting from users.

Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM
If the Power Supply fan is making uncommon noises
then yes replace it with a unit that at least equal to the wattage rating on the power supply sticker. Look for the number of 12V rails and the wattage for each rail. If you have a 350 Watt power supply now then replace it with a 450 or 550 watt supply to give you some spare wattage in case you plan additional upgrades. Now as to the memory issue, if the computer works fine with the old memory sticks then you either have defective sticks or more likely incompatible memory. Try the Crucial Memory Advisor link: http://www.crucial.com/store/listmfgr.asp?cat=RAM From what you posted the value of your "Current CPU Temperature 64C" is way too high especially if the computer is basically at idle (no load). You may want to look at a better heatsink and fan plus Arctic Clean 1& 2 to clean off the old past or pad one your CPU http://www.arcticsilver.com/arcticlean.htm and Arctic "Ceramique" for the thermal paste. http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique.htm Read the instructions carefully on how to remove the old past/pad from the CPU and the clean it using Artic Clean. Same for applying the paste for a socket 478 CPU. Do it properly and you CPU should drop down to about 34C at idle. But take care of the memory issue first.

You correct Gerry, I missed it.
The Kingston memory is 240 pin and as the manual states the motherboard uses 184 pin memory.DDR and he purchased DDR2 memory not DDR as stated in his original post.

Computer won't boot up after installing new RAM
You correct Gerry, I missed it.
The Kingston memory is 240 pin and as the manual states the motherboard uses 184 pin memory.DDR and he purchased DDR2 memory not DDR as stated in his original post. What puzzles me is how did he insert the DDR2 in a DDR slot the notch isn't in the same place??? -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "Gerry" wrote in message ... JS FWIW two others have suggested that 184 pin memory is specified in the motherboard manual. The new memory is not 184 pin. You can read the manual in my earlier post. -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JS wrote: If the Power Supply fan is making uncommon noises then yes replace it with a unit that at least equal to the wattage rating on the power supply sticker. Look for the number of 12V rails and the wattage for each rail. If you have a 350 Watt power supply now then replace it with a 450 or 550 watt supply to give you some spare wattage in case you plan additional upgrades. Now as to the memory issue, if the computer works fine with the old memory sticks then you either have defective sticks or more likely incompatible memory. Try the Crucial Memory Advisor link: http://www.crucial.com/store/listmfgr.asp?cat=RAM From what you posted the value of your "Current CPU Temperature 64C" is way too high especially if the computer is basically at idle (no load). You may want to look at a better heatsink and fan plus Arctic Clean 1& 2 to clean off the old past or pad one your CPU http://www.arcticsilver.com/arcticlean.htm and Arctic "Ceramique" for the thermal paste. http://www.arcticsilver.com/ceramique.htm Read the instructions carefully on how to remove the old past/pad from the CPU and the clean it using Artic Clean. Same for applying the paste for a socket 478 CPU. Do it properly and you CPU should drop down to about 34C at idle. But take care of the memory issue first.

A low density 1GB module, shouldn't have a problem with an 865PE motherboard. A low density 1GB module, should work in any motherboard rated as being able to use 1GB modules. So I don't see a problem with the purchase. Paul |
