I can't add RAM

I have a WindowsXP Pro Tour. It has 3 SP. I was decide to add more ram to my computer because it has only 512 MB of RAM. It has an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2 .66GHz and an ASUS AGP-V7700 Deluxe v5.33 AKA GeForce 2 GTS. The motherboard (The ECS P4M800PRO - M 1. 0) says it is only capable of 2533 DDR or DDR 400 RAM. So I went out and my bit of DDR3 RAM and install it. Then I try to start it, and there is no beep. I was wondering how can I fix to make it work.

So, if I interpret you correctly it does not work with all the 3 RAM sticks inserted. No surprise - as stated earlier...

The jury does not support simultaneous use of the two types of memory, i.e. you fill in only blue locations or only the purple slots, but never both at the same time.

Take the original memory, insert the memory purchased. Do you still have a BSOD? If you do them chances are that...

  1. One or two of these purchased modules is not compatible with the motherboard, or
  2. The memory purchased modules are not compatible with each other, or
  3. One or two of these modules bought is defective

.. .and you must check with the provider, if your DDR memory modules are compatible with your motherboard and between them.

If you do not get a BSOD, it is probably by mixing the two types of memory. You must now run Memtest86 + against your purchased memory - download the iso, burn it to a CD, boot from the CD to start Memtest86 + to check your memory isn't faulty.

http://www.memtest.org/

If your provider can check compatibility, you can also use Memtest86 + to check the modules for defects.

PML and Bill Smithers have already indicated how to get compatible memory.

For the record, the plan of action for you to the correct/best should have buy a compatible DDR2 memory bar and fill the purple free slot with her (DDR2 is faster than the DDR).

  • Can I add ram on this machine?

    I just bought a Pavilion notebook e049wm with 750 hd, amd processor and 8g ram. Now that I have heard is not enough RAM for the amd CPU and it says on the page of the product 8g is maximum support. But I have also heard other people say that they have added another 8 g for the same machine. So who is?

    OK, just want to say that it was a good thing to have warranty service. Make a call to tech support and everything works fine. Guess I got a little too discouraged. Change the bios upgrade and software seems to have fixed the wi - fi. Guess I can make everything right with the g-8 for a while.

  • upgrade: iMac RAM can add ram to 8 gb that comes with it?

    Hey all,.

    So I just ordered my iMac 27 "end in 2015.

    I know you can increase the ram yourself and thought - if I order lets say 16 GB - can I add to the current 8 GB and make 24 GB of ram? (Or add 32 GB to 8 GB and therefor is 40 GB, incidentally?)

  • I have a Macbook Pro mid 2012 edition, i7 and 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) of RAM DDR3 (1600 MHz). Can I add any RAM with this config?

    I want to upgrade my RAM 16 GB (2x8GB) and also to change the hard drive (750 GB) to a 250 GB SSD. I was going through the forum and people have posted that they have improved their RAM with no problems. I visited the local electronics market and is the knowledge that they have a Kingston 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM. I just want to know if it is safe to add that RAM for my MBP or not? One of my friends told me that the MBP requires a different sort of RAM so I am confused. In addition, I was intending to buy a single 8 GB and set up my MBP with 12 GB (8 + 4) RAM and then replace the other 4 GB with an 8 GB to make eventually 16GB. Will there be a problem with this approach? Also can I add any SSD fits laptops from my system? I found an SSD 240 GB (uv300) Kingston. Please suggest if I can add that.

    You can fit a maximum of 16 GB, if you choose compatible Ram.

    I want to increase the RAM of my laptop. It has a 4 GB of ram that is not able to handle some tasks.

    1. I was wondering how much memory can I add to my laptop?

    2. what will be the cost of improvement for a chip of 4 gb of HP service center?

    3. If I do it myself, if my laptop is out of warranty or not?

    Please write a reply only if you are sure.

    Good news for you. The memory is expandable to customer. There is an easy access on the bottom door. See page 47 here.

    Manual

    You can switch to 12 concerts by adding a 8 GB module in the empty slot. Adding a 4 GB module might actually be good too because the memory will run in dual channel, which is a bit faster. Not too many tasks really need more then 8 GB of RAM.

    This is the number of HP part 4 GB module you need:

    Module memory 4 GB (PC3 12800, 1600 MHz) 691740-001, which looks like this:

    2 things are important. It is memory (DDR3L 1, 35 volts) low voltage and low density because of the 8 black blocks. Be sure to get the type of memory, so it's guaranteed compatibility.

  • Can I add another hard drive to my Mac Pro?

    End of 2013

    3.7 GHz quad core Xeon E5

    16 GB of ram

    500 GB Flash

    Ive run out of hard drive space. Can I add another flash drive or is it better to buy an external hard drive? If external which is more reliable Thunderbolt or USB 3?

    Go on everymac.com and find your model of Mac Pro for a good list of specifications and upgrade opportunities.

    I know "reliable." Limits of reliability are probably based on the envelope model and model also in car inside (not always easy to find) rather than the type of connection. Thunderbolt is probably faster but still a somewhat unusual connector to find so if you are looking for less cotly a USB3 will be cheaper and there will be more models available. Make sure you know that there is a reliable drive inside.

  • Add ram touchsmart 10 10-e010nr for laptop / PC

    How can I make my TOUCHSMART from HP Pavilion 10 10-e010nr computer run faster. I have 2 GB of ram, 320 GB hard drive. I can addmore ram.

    Hi @germfree,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand you're wondering if you can add ram to your computer laptop 10-e010nr of HP Pavilion TOUCHSMART from 10. I am pleased to see that for you!

    I recommend you to go through this guide, the computer is slow (10 of Windows). To check the amount of memory currently installed and determines the amount of memory can be added, while your computer is turned on, follow one of the sets of steps below:

    In Windows 10:

    1. In Windows, find and open HP Support Assistant.

    2. HP Support Assistant, under Learn click on product information.

      Figure: Support Assistant

    3. See the section of system memory specifications for details on memory that is currently installed.

      Figure: The system memory information

    4. To find the total amount of memory that can be added, subtract the amount of memory currently in the computer of the maximum amount of memory that the computer can hold. To see the maximum memory the computer can take, see the finding information on memory for your computer model.

    5. For the amount of memory per slot, divide the maximum amount of memory that the computer can hold by the number of memory locations of the motherboard. Usually, this is the maximum amount for each type of memory. For example, if the computer is able to contain a maximum of 4096 MB (4 GB) memory and the motherboard has four memory slots, install 1 GB (or less) per slot.

    Source: upgrade (RAM RAM).
