Can’t Upgrade my RAM 256 tMb to 2 GB, Please Help!
LockedHi
I have recently bought a two sticks RAM of 1 GB each. My old RAM was 256 MB and when I removed the old one 256MB and added both the new 2* 1GB RAM my computer boots but does not show the new RAM as 2 GB and remains at 256 MB RAM. Also it does not boot to windows. Then there are options to start in safe mode but even that doesnt start.
The method I used to install them is removing the old 256 MB RAM stick from one of the slots and placed the 2 * 1 GB RAM sticks in the empty 2 slots.
The new RAM sticks are new I just bought them yesterday. They are of the type 184 PINs:
1GB DDR-I 333MHzThe old RAM 256 MB is of the type 184 PINs:
