Hi, I got a second hand laptop (dell inspiron) it has a pentium 4 2.8 ghz processer and 512mb (2x 256) ram. Decided to upgrade to 1gb and bought two identicle 512's but after fitting computer would not boot (blank screen) after experimenting it needs at least one original 256mb card to boot so now I have one 256 and one 512 which works ok but is there any way of using the other 512 that I have paid for?
ram issue

Hi, thanks for the reply, I have not touched the bios yet. The bios does not load with both 512's installed. I have windows 7 installed hence the need for more memory. 7 tells you how much ram you have and it at 768 with a 512 and 256 installed. Will have a poke around in bios to see if I can make that adjustment.
