I upgraded my ram 256 k xp in a crack of 1 gig in the same niche but the computer does not load. BIOS indicates still 256 k. What should I do?

By the bios indicates ram 256 k in the slot one.  I bought a 1 GB card (correct map I know) and plugged into the connector 1.  When I turn on the computer it load windows and when I hit f1 the bios screen still displays 256 k in slot 1 and I can't figure out how to change that and get running.

You can be sure, buy why don't we tell the brand and model of your computer (or your motherboard) and the brand and model of RAM you bought?

Probable causes:

1. bad RAM
2. incorrectly installed RAM
3 damaged RAM or motherboard installation
4. defective RAM

  • I want to upgrade my RAM: 256 MB what anyone faster

    I bought a Windows XP Home Edition PC in 2005. The space of hard drive 100 GB & 256 RAM. To date in 2012, remains great functions, but I desperately want to spend his RAM because it's horribly slow. What are the appropriate measures to do? Where to buy a kit of RAM? I should install it myself, is it simple enough, or take it to someone else?

    You can install as much as 4 GB in your computer - which would make a significant difference in the performance: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Presario%20SR1710NX

    It is easy enough to install the new RAM.  See, for example, the video on the site of critical above.

    If you buy 4 GB upgrade kit, you remove the current 256 MB module and then install the four modules of 1 GB.  I'm not suggesting using the 256 MB module, even if you get only 2 GB of new RAM.

    If you don't want to spend the $108 for 4 GB, the type of memory, you need to get is "DDR PC3200"--> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611%20600006085&IsNodeId=1&name=DDR%20400%20%28PC%203200%29Specifications:

  • Compaq 6200 PRO MT: Makes the computer does not start after upgrade CPU

    I have the HP Compaq 6200 PRO PC of MT 615114-001 motherboard and processor Intel Celeron CPU (LGA 1155). After I changed the CPU for Intel Core i5 (LGA 1155) computer does not start. He begins a minute (less than one second) and stops again. No beeps. After you have installed the Celeron back everything works fine. i5 CPU is brand new. What can be?

    In my previous post, I explained the reason it has not worked, and listed the CPU that will work.

    HP tests CPU in the laboratory and publishes a list of processors that will work in a notebook.

    Notebook motherboard BIOS has a list of processors that will work. If it is installed, which is not encoded as OK in the BIOS ROM file, then this will not work.

    Processors published (in the maintenance guide & Service for your nttebook series model) are available in models that can be deilvered in State CTO (configured to order).

  • computer does not aftwr trying to upgrade ram

    I just upgraded my ram on my hpdv6 and now the computer does not even start.

    Hello Deborah,.

    Thanks for the post.

    We need additional information to help you better, please answer the following

    1. What RAM slots that you use on the motherboard?
    2. Have you tried to move the RAM to grasp in other slots?
    3. Have you tried to remove the RAM upgrade and returning to more RAM? System now starts?

    Use your old set of RAM to boot into the BIOS, and then manually change the voltage and the timings to the specifications of the new RAM. Save and exit, turn off the machine, put the new RAM in and check the status of the issue.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    I suggest also please contact the manufacturer for help bettre.

    I hope this helps.

  • When I click on the Windows 7 Upgrade nothing happens and the program does not start.

    This is on a Dell Vostro 1520.

    I'm trying to reinstall an os upgrade Windows 7 32 bit.

    I am currently using Vista 32 bit. I sell the dell so I formatted and reinstalled 32 bit Vista OS.

    The computer was running on an operating system Windows 7 before the reinstall.

    Now when I click on the Windows 7 upgrade it does not load.

    When I try to open since the reboot it will not open either.

    What now?

    Hey, Slugger,

    New installation leaves you a better overall installation,

    Installation custom own steps

    You can use a Full Windows 7 or upgrade disk to do a custom clean install. This will remove all of your programs, but you can save your files and settings on an external storage before doing so. You will need to reinstall all your programs after installing Windows 7. Here are the steps:

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if there are known problems that might affect installation and if you can install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

    2 back up your files and settings. To avoid losing everything that you will need to save copies of all files, photos and other information that you want to keep an external storage device. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool allows you to copy your files (but not programs) from your PC and then transfer them back after you have installed Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick or CD/DVD.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/Windows-easy-transfer

    3. find the discs original installation and license/product keys associated to programs currently on your computer because you will have to manually reinstall your programs after installing Windows 7. Depending on what you have installed, you may be able to download programs from the Internet.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)." Note: 32 to 64-bit requires restart and boot from the DVD.

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, you can use Windows Easy Transfer (or a different backup method you used) to restore your files & settings and use your installation disks to reinstall all your programs. Then you're done - take advantage of Windows 7.

    Steps 2, 3and 4 are recommended for Dell not offering systems not Windows 7 installed at the factory. Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check that all of your software and computer components are ready for Windows 7. This application will scan your system and make recommendations on what to do before the upgrade to Windows 7.

  • VMware Player tells me to 'host reserved RAM', but the option does not exist.  Is there a command for vmx to this file?

    I am running VMware Player on a host Ubuntu 14.04, Win 7 pro x 64 comments.  When I start the client OS VMWare gives me this warning

    Vmware Player Warning.png

    So I want to allow the use of the "reserved host RAM" option instead of playing with the pagefile, but setting told me to doesn't seem to exist in VMware Player

    Is there something I can add to the VMX file to enable this option?

    Porto Richardson wrote: this setting for VMware Player is found in the file config.ini to the player %allusersprofile%/VMware/VMware

    The OP said "I'm under VMware Player on a Ubuntu 14.04 host" so the file name and path you mentioned is not applicable.

    @LukeJS host on a Ubuntu (Linux) from the file name won't get the .ini extension and will be simply called the config and will be parked at/etc/vmware /.  So with the machine virtual shutdown is not suspended and VMware Player closed then a Terminal used the following command.

    sudo nano/etc/vmware/config

    Then add the following line.

    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

    It is essentially the same parameter that gets the value of the UI of VMware Workstation preferences for submission in response to the message that despite the instructions contained in the message does not exist in the VMware Player preferences user interface.
