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

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.

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.

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)

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

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.)

Have you read the Motherboard Manual?

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.

Try running Memtest86+, this runs from a boot disk or CD

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.

Also use the Crucial Memory Advisor Tool

Compare how close the specs are between what
Crucial recommends and what the specs are for your
Kingston memory.
