Hi,
I recently bought a 1 gig upgrade for my PC, however when i add the new 1 gig of ram and switch the computer on, it doesn't boot, i get a sound and the 3 red Debug LEDs stay on. My motherboard has 2 Dimm1 slots and 2 Dimm2 slots, the 2 512mbs are in dimm1, and so i added the new 1 gig to the 1st dimm2 slot, which is how i came to my problem, i know that the new 1 gig is not bad because if i take 1 of the 512mb out and replace it with the new 1 gig the computer boots up and runs perfectly fine. Ive played around with it a bit and the problem seems to be something to do with the dimm2 slots, if any memory is connected to either of the dimm2 slots the computer won't boot and i can't seem to figure it out...my spec is below
any help would be greatly appreciated
XP Pro Service Pack 3
Lanparty UT NF4 Expert motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+
1 gig ram (2 x 512 Ballistic DDR (PC3200) )
*new 1 gig is a qimonda DDR, 400, CL3
any other spec just ask
