Continuous beeping noise when upgrading RAM – no booting up

by mike-h777 . Updated 19 years ago

Hi

I’ve encountered a curious yet worrisome problem. I’ve decided to upgrade my computer’s ram from 512MB Sticks to 1GB sticks. When I replace my two 512MB Sticks to the brand new 1GB sticks, I get a continious beeping sound, and my computer fails to boot up.

My motherboard is a GA-81PE1000-G, and can have up to 4GBs of DDR ram up to 1GB per Slot.

The new RAM is the same brand and configuration as the old 512 MB RAM

Old RAM: Legend 512MB DDR400(T6464D47-BU1LDC9M)
New RAM: Legend 1GB DDR400(T1264D47-PP1LDMDC)

I’ve tried just 1 Stick at a time, and in the different slots, and each time the Beeping goes on. Works fine when I put my old sticks back in. Also when I add 1GB stick in the third slot, (with the 512s in the first two slots), the computer will boot up, but will not recognise the extra 1GB. Very confusing 🙁

Many thanks in advance if you offer some help with this.

kind regard
Michael
