New Ram now XP wont work

by jamin724 . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

Hi I am not a computer person at all but basiclly what happend is i installed some new ram on my computer. I have a dell Dimesion 3000 and i went to a website and the max they said i can have is 1 GB in each slot with 184 pin. I got the new ram today and installed it I turned it on and it said “new memory found” and i hit F1 to skip. Then windows XP came up and said it was going to scan disk and hti any key to stop. I hit a key and it didnt stop so i turned off the computer and turn it on. Now it will not even load XP it comes up with a blue screen saying there is a problem. I cant start in safe mode either it loads some files then same screen pops up. I tried with the old memory and still the same thing. I am now running a scan I dk what its called but at the start up I hit F12 option 7 then it came up with a bunch of utility tests. I clicked the one thay says “Cannont Run OS system”. lol this is a lot of info and i hope someone can help me out
