Stuck a 1gb stick in bringing my ram to 1.5gb it now crashes 2 seconds after walking around any ideas?
specs, including ram speeds/frequencies all the shit
more specs please.
memtest?
Format your Computer.
Thats what I did, I used to get Blue Screens when I went from 2 512's up to 4 512 Sticks giving me 2 Gigs.
Problem Stopped after Format

Specs I ashamed ok AMD Athlon 3400+ 64 bit, 40gb western digital, 1.5gb ram 1gb stick and 512mb stick. Geforce 6200 512mb
Nooo, don't do that yet.JeSTeR_Player1 wrote:

The problem might be present because you probably have that 512mb stick and 1gb stick in the same slot, both with different timings.
Make sure they are in different colored slots or at least move 1 of them around to see if it works. Also, make sure that the sticks are in all the way, your computer can't do shit if they sticks aren't in completely.Jello.01 wrote:

Oh god no thats hardcore man ok they both 400mhz DDR erm how do I stick timings right?Jello.01 wrote:

I only have two slots, they both in securely with the clicky things latched on, I stuck ram sinks on could the pressure cause the problem?pirana6 wrote:

Either-
A: You have a bad RAM stick
B: Your RAM doesnt like each other.

Get rid of the 512 MBs! Some socket 939 mainboard wont work with 1.5 GB! Further it is useless because your RAM wont work in DDR anyways.
Hmm, what make/model mother board do you have? The easiest thing to try would be go to www.crucial.com and use the crucial scanner, that will tell you everything you need to tell us about the ram. Post back that and the MB type.

Try to take out the 512 one and play with one gig. Does that work?
replace the 512 with another 1 gb and make sure you have the right memory for your motherboard, mismatch memory is never a good thing.
Ok so I went into bios and decided to change the timings, before that I reinstalled my graphics cards drivers and changed the timings after the restart. No my pc won't go pass bios I pulled out the battery so it reset the bios. Now after the bios all I get is a black screen harddrive is detected and working so is the keyboard. I'm guessing the video drivers are now non existent I tried putting in the windows disk it reads it but gets a black screen. I can still mess about with the bios can anyone give me some help I am using a college comp at the moment.

How can DDR RAM not work in DDR? You mean dual channel and it makes little difference. You're confusing bandwidth and frequency. As for timings, they will automatically run at the speed of the slower memory. It could be some sort of MB or RAM incompatibility.
Video drivers are irrelevant during bootstraping so that is not anything to do with the issue. If you had a hard drive or OS error it would tell you about it, therefore it is most likely a CPU, memory or MB issue - the most likely of those being memory since you've changed it. Play around with different DIMM configurations, test the memory to make sure there are no errors.
ya, sry, of course dual channel wont work!!! Damn surfing while work
Again, what make/model is the motherboard? Hard to suggest anything otherwise..on saying that, did you try booting into safemode?wah1188 wrote:

I fried my motherboard I think I reseted bios like 50 times HDD, ram, gfx are all fine.
mismatch memory=never no good , get rid of the 512 and get another 1GB of the same memory and make sure it is the right one for your motherboard. p.s , take out the 1Gb you just put in until you get the other one at least you wont CTDwah1188 wrote:
