A7N8X-X RAM Problems

beamertwo · 05-09-2008, 06:44 AM

I am trying to breathe some new life into my daughter's computer by upping the RAM. It has a ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard and according to the specs it can take up to PC3200, so I bought a 1G stick and installed it. Now the problem....it won't boot! When I turn on the power, all I get is a long beep that is repeated every few seconds and nothing else. Are there some settings are jumpers I can change? Or have I wasted my money?

check that it is seated properly don't rely on the clips clicking over
it does not mean it is seated
is there any other ram in there

Thanks dai,
I have made sure that the RAM is seated properly and tried it in the other slots. Also tried it with the old RAM in place - it booted, but just kept rebooting, Any other ideas?
