O.P. Another RAM problem
I just recieved my RAM and having problems already.
I put the 1gb module in my motherboard and i get continuous short bios beeps. my mobo manual said that means there is a power error. I found this strange as i have a 550W power supply. my current 2x 256Mbs still work fine, but the 1gb is acting wierd
I bought a 1Gb PC-3200, Hi density Programmed, 400Mhz-128Kx4bit (taken from the actual module)
my mobo can support: DDR400/333/266
128/256/512/1Gb unbuffered non ecc DRAM
128, 256,512 technologies implemented as x8/x16

have i bought the wrong type of RAM. if so what part is wrong?

RE: Another RAM problem
Are your other rams still in?
If so trying taking them out and see whats happens.
If it works then put 1 stick of ram in and see if it works then the other.

O.P. RE: Another RAM problem
i tried with only the 1gb and thats what gave me the error.
just now i tried with all 3 but the computer only sees it as 256mb RAM :S
but at the moment its running on 512MB

does my chipset support high densitiy ram? my chipset being Intel 848P, becuase i bought it from ebay and the ebay member wrote that the chipsets which were NOT compatible with it, and 848 was not there so i thought it would be ok.

would i need to clear the CMOS?
