Installing RAM on Dell Dimension 5150

fergusk · 12-24-2008, 06:04 AM

Hi I am a novice at PC upgrading

I have bought new RAM for my PC (1GB PC2-4200 DDR2 533MHz 240Pins)

When I install it I get to the XP login screen, once I login to my account I get blue screen.

Error code: 0X0000001A (0X00000780, 0XC0635880, 0X823897B8, 0X000004C0)

Not sure of the type of motherboard I have.

Any help would be greatly appriciated

Thanks for the quick response wrench97

I am not near my of currently but I will check when I am back but from memory I bought is from www.memoryprosus.com and is still on their website. This might help in the meantime.

Did you get this single 2gig stick > http://www.memoryprous.com/ProductDe...uctCode=2GB667
You should install memory in pairs to have the faster dual channel mode.
And with Dell's I've never had much luck using generic memory.

I have looked at the memory sticks and there are no obvious markings to say who makes them.

I bought 2X1Gb sticks.

I bought 2X1Gb sticks.
This is of the ebay site:
Unfortunately without markings on the sticks there is noway to verify that is what you actually received.

only markings are small lettering in the top corner

B62URCE 1.00 BP ML E186014 94V-Q

not sure if this will help??

fergusk · 12-25-2008, 05:18 AM

If you cannot help here, can you sugest a good site to buy the ram from (or should i go directly to dell)??

**wrench97** · 12-25-2008, 05:37 AM

Thought I already did that> http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartsp...036A37A5CA7304

That number(B62URCE 1.00 BP ML E186014 94V-Q) seems to be on a lot pcb's of DDR2 sticks I'.m guessing it's the PCB makers number and the the memory assemblers number
