O.P. Undecided  RAM Problem :(
I just recieved 1 stick of  1Gb of RAM. When i put it in my computer, the BIOS beeps sound. I have 2 ports for my memory, i took one stick of 256Mb RAM out and put the 1Gb one in. i tried all combinations of the other 256Mg stick and the ports.
There were about 6 BIOS beeps, and im running on Phoenix BIOS. I know its RAM failure but how can i fix the problem?
Could the voltage for the RAM be to high, do i need to turn it down?

O.P. RE: RAM Problem :( [Solved]
yeh its PC2100. at the moment im running on the same comp but with 512Mb so it rules out mobo problems.

[Edit] I realised the problem. i checked my computer manual and it said it cant support a single 1Gb module, im going to need to buy 2 x 512Mbs -.-'

£45 down the drain :(

Sometimes you can get a message something like
quote:
System is low on memory so Windows is increasing the pagefile size
or
quote:
Not every memory to run application, shut some programs and trey again
SoundPacks   -   Scripts   -   Skins

that's not a bug, thats an unexpected feature

RE: RAM Problem :(

"System is low on memory so Windows is increasing the pagefile size"

this is NOT due to memory size at all, but becoz windows runs out of pagefile space

i get this whenever i disable my pagefile or run with it to low

"Not every memory to run application, shut some programs and trey again"

this is also an occurence when the page file is off or set to low

it is also common on Win9x systems due to the way windows pages programs instead of using the page file it stores them in Virtual memory using the system and user.gdi files which you can monitor by installing the Resource meter in the add remove programs under windows setup

isnt it the best idea when u get those messages to add some more RAM? Nowadays 256Mb of RAM is kinda low. The min should be at least 512Mb
