Hiya
According to "PC Wizard 2007" I have in my PC:
512mb DDR2 SD RAM PC2 - 4200 (266MHZ)
I wanted to upgrade my RAM so I bought this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...4963&rd=1&rd=1
I have recieved the new RAM but whenever I try to boot the PC using just the new RAM in either slot it wil lnot start windows, it will just go through the first couple of setup screens when I turn my computer on then beep and say windows was not shut down correctly, how do you want to start this time. I click start normally and the sytem just resets and does the same thing over and over.
If I use the new RAM alongside my old RAM then windows will start but after a few seconds the PC resets itself.
If I take out the new RAM and put just the old RAM in then it works perfectly again.
I have an E-System EI 303 Pentium 4 3.06GHZ running XP.
One other thing although PC wizard says my original 512mb RAM is 266MHZ, printed on the RAM itself it says 533 but it does not have MHZ next to it. Does that mean anything? Also when I check my RAM amount by right clicking on MY Computer and properties etc.. its says I only have 448mb RAM, is that normal?
Any help anyone could give would be great, do you think the 1GB RAM I bought from ebay could be faulty?
Thanks
Steve
