Installed ram perfectly but now my PC turns, (a few stays at a black screen)

Hello

My Hp pavilion home PC a6160, accompanying initially installed at the factory 1 GB of ram. then I got domain upgrade to 2 GB of ram... Now, he has worked flawlessly so far... I had a Nvidia driver keep breaking any driver I use, or what I'm doing. So I saw some things on the net bad RAM could be the cause. Now, 512 MB of ddr2 ram died about 2 months ago... (my setup is 1 X 1 GB stick, 2 X 512 MB sticks). so I unplugged my computer from power. Took the stick 'dead' 512 MB, my computer closed, it works... Yet, nothing happens except a black screen and the screen saying no input detected. and my fans are running at 80% (hard)... so I put the 512 MB of ram back as it was... Always the same thing happening nothing black screen. The RAM is correctly installed, I press down firmly, the clips are on the key correctly... What the hell is casuing this black screen? even if the 512 MB was dead the other 1.5 GB should still work?-j' NEVER touched the other strips of RAM... Is MY GPU in the right place, barely touched. Please help me... Man, my computer is ulitmately stuffed... 1 nvidia driver give up my ram properly, cant work now is not even 2 years...

Hello

When you bought the memory module did you buy compatible RAM guaranteed from a major memory manufacturer or do you just go to a Best Buy and buy little RAM they said would work?

HP desktop PC is very particular about RAM. The RAM that you install must have a SPD (Serial Presence Detect) file that matches what your BIOS for its tables in the ROM of CMOS file finds. If the SPD does not match, the RAM will not work. SPD has the voltage and all the RAM timings. No match... no workee.

First remove the other memory module. Try to run without memory installed to see if it displays an error message. The new module of memory DIMM 1 position and clear the CMOS.

Unplug your PC.

remove the power cord from your PSU (power supply)

remove the CMOS battery.

Press the power button to leave the current stored to dissipate.

Look at the position of the jumper CLR_CMOS. Move the jumper from position 1-2 and place it in position 2-3. Leave it there for at least a minute.

Put back the jumper in position 1-2, and then reinstall the CMOS battery.

Connect the power cable to the PSU.

Connect your PC to the present House. The led on the back of a solid color or it flashes. If solid color then life is good.

Press the Start button.

Here is a convenient link with information on the motherboard of your PC.

Kind regards
