Thread: Tips to upgrade ram

Hello all, I'm attempting to upgrade my ram from 1 GB to 3GB's, the unique that’s in there currently is a 1 GB DDR PC400 128x16. The 2 1GB ram sticks I buy are 128x8 and when I place them in, I get a memo at startup regarding not seeing the files on HDD then a further message arrives up that starts to recover rather in the BIOS and when that’s over it just keeps rebooting and I get the similar thing again and again. I attempt just the new ram sticks but get the similar rebooting.

I'm assuming that it’s the dissimilarity among 128x16 and the 128x8 but is there any way around this so it will observe both? I checked in BIOS but the MB mechanically sees the ram and I cannot modify anything in there. Any assist would be really valued.

Allow me get this directly: you tried running equally the 128x16 and the 128x8 and nothing work. Then you tried now the novel 128x8, but nothing works yet. Though things work when you boot simply by the 128x16?

The only thing you can do is either you take off the old ram stick and try with the new one, if it does not work the only way is to find the same ram as the old one.
