Upgrade memory 512 to 2 GB should be simple... not

I have a Dell dimension 3000.  I've recently updated by the RAM to 2 GB.  At first I kept getting the BSOD.  Then it should start up and I have my icons and online then it will come with an error message that says that your system has recovered from a serious error.  Or in the Middle it starts blinking at the BSOD and say check the BIOS.  I have improved by the bios on the Dell site, but I still get the msg.
 
The two RAM register in the BIOS 2048 333 mhz memory.

I reinstalled change them the slots and also got the msg IRQL not less or equal to windows XP.  Then I got one that said page in the non paged area.

Can someone tell me what is the problem?  Help

The problem is obviously the new RAM. Either it's bad or bad memory for your system. I always buy my RAM from Crucial , but even if you don't want to do that you can use their search tool to see that RAM in your computer requires memory. If you already done this (or something similar) and you have good RAM and it is installed correctly, then you can test it.

I like Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . Of course, you must obtain the program from a working machine. You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. You will need a third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • G6 - 1045ej upgrad memory Pavilion

    Hello

    I have HP pavilion 1045ej with 2 slots for momery, 1 g6 with 4 GB, it comes to the computer:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02735623

    According to these data, I can't add another stick to upgrade the memory.

    in another page of hp, I can find the HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC:Maintenance and Guide Service, and in Chapter 1 of 3 page, they wrote that laptops G6 can upgdate up to 8 GB:

    http://h20628.www2.HP.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c02770249-1.PDF

    so, I want to know if I can add another stick of 2 GB for 6 GB of ram, or in my model, I can't?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello:

    You can add another 4 GB chip to the existing one for a ttl of 8 GB.

    The news of upgrade memory on the first link you posted are not very well written.

    It leads you to believe that you already have the maximum amount of memory installed.

    What the author meant you add are another chip of 4 GB.

    This can be confirmed in the service manual, Chapter 1 page 3.  However, they left configuration 2 x 4096 MB supported.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02770249.PDF

    So to answer your question... Yes, you can add a chip from 2 GB to 4 GB chip and get 6 GB but you can also well shoot the Moon and get a 4 GB chip, the thing out to 8 GB max, have run in DDR mode and do with her memory.

    The memory does not work in DDR mode with a 4 + 2 GB memory configuration.

  • Portege 4000 - I would like to upgrade memory: 256 MB to 512 MB

    Hello

    I have a Portege 4000 and want to upgrade the memory: 256 MB to 512 MB.
    It has 98SE and the user always wants to keep this system.

    Does anyone know if there is a known issue with the upgrade to 512 MB I saw a thread in 2005, by someone who had a problem?

    I suppose that the memory SODIMM PC133. I ordered a 512 MB of RAM to aememory last year, but the system would have not even begun. Maybe they had sent me the wrong chip?

    Thank you

    Tim

    Hmm. perhaps that the RAM modules are not 100% compatible
    To my knowledge, it should be possible to upgrade the RAM up. 1 GB (2 x 512 MB)
    You could also upgrade to 512 MB by using one or two 256 MB modules.

    You must use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules and I found these modules that are compatible:
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)

  • Upgrade memory of 512 to 2G on a T43 gave rise to a white screen with the power upward

    I type Thinkpad T43 2687 and I added 1 GB DDR2 RAM PC2-5300 for the slot originally neath expansion slot and then I added the Mithraeum card to replace the size 512 under the keyboard.  Power to the top of the battery and AC lights came, but the screen remains blank. Then I replaced the card of underkeyboard with the original 512 memory card and nothing changed, finally I removed the second 1 GB card so I was back to the original configuration and all is back to where I started.  Everything works but no upgrade memory.

    No idea why the system does not recognize the additional memory or worse, why he stopped the whole of the system?

    Also any ideas how memory works on the upgrade I used kingston in my approach?

    Thank you

    The slot premanente RAM thus cleared, pop 1 GB under the keyboard and let us know what happens.

    Hello

    First of all, if you want to go for fastest laptop, you should start with simple things.
    Try to defragment the disk, turn off the background process is not necessary, etc.
    Upgrade memory will the powerful laptop and of course a lot more quickly.

    To my knowledge the Satellite M55 should support the bars of memory 2 x 1024MB, and I also recommend the use of 1024MB instead of 512 MB module.

  • Portege 3500 - upgrade memory

    Necessary upgrade memory for a p3500. 'Expert' advised two sticks of 512 MB PC133, but on opening the rear of the location that a laptop computer and on the insertion of the new RAM it gives an error code beep. Is there than a single slot? and if so what maximum capacity and what type of RAM will it take?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    As far as I know the 3500 Series provided with a removable module of RAM of 128 MB, 256 MB or 512 MB depending on what model and specifications you purchased. There is one other remaining slot for expansion purposes.

    The total support for the 3500 Series RAM is 2 GB and the type of RAM should be SODIMM PC133 144 pins.

    It is important that you match the RAM modules that your RAM module existing (one removable) is of the same type you new RAM module. Of course, you can always delete the original from the RAM and insert two new modules of RAM instead.

    Please check the following URL for more information on the available RAM module type.

  • Upgrade memory for Tecra A5

    Hello, if anyone can help, I would be very grateful.

    I have a Tecra A5 that I bought a few years ago and recently it has become quite slow. On the suggestion of a colleague, I rebooted the machine, remove a lot of unused programs and it seems to have improved.

    However, I would like to upgrade the RAM. Currently, the task manager tells me I have 1 GB of available, and I read that the Tecra A5 can handle 2 GB, which seems likely to boost performance.

    However, looking at the manual and at the bottom of the laptop, it only seems to be a slot to expand memory. Looking at websites selling RAM upgrades, there only seems to be 128, 256, 512 and 1024 MB memory upgrades.

    Here's the question. Should I buy two memory upgrades 1 GB (and if so, where did I put the other?)

    I have a feeling that when I bought the laptop, the seller has provided two upgrades memory of 512 MB.

    Thanks for any advice on this.

    You are right. Your Tecra can be upgraded up to 2 GB. Compatible RAM module has PA3313U-2M1G part number. Are you a location is available downstairs?
    This old Tecra is unknown to me, but what I do know, is that all laptops with a RAM slot at the bottom have an another slot memory under the keyboard.

    If you want to have full access to this slot machine, you must remove the keyboard.

  • Upgrade memory for T61

    Hi friends,
    I have a system of 7663-xxx T61, with 1 GB PC2-5300 667 MHz RAM. My Front Side Bus 800 MHz (I think!), software Everest says my memory controller is capable, dual channel and ~ 85% physical RAM use. I have a nVidia Quadro NVS 140 M 128 MB graphics card, but Everest reports 512 MB?

    I want to update my RAM and buy some online.
    one) should I buy a similar 2 GB RAM PC2 - 5300 for my system performance, running Windows XP 32-bit? If so, should I buy Lenovo RAM only, for the maintenance of my 3 years warranty intact?

    Will assume the ROM ThinkPad and Lenovo ThinkPad and Lenovo warranty portable systems limited

    (b) what are the alternatives best for good quality, reliable laptop computer memory, not to mention that Lenovo?
    (c) wouldn't it be better if I'm able to buy RAM that can match my FSB? This will have a performance advantage? Do these similar exist FSB RAM speed?
    Please suggest manufacturers of memory superior, as appropriate.
    I couldn't find any Lenovo 800 MHz memory on their Web site.

    Kindly help me to solve my problem to upgrade memory.

    I'm a mechanical engineering student, so I have not any idea of FSB and similar, so I ask the scholars members to throw light on this area.
    Info on online sites in the United States, with fast delivery will be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    YOU Hamburg, Germany

    Honestly, you'll be fine with either / or. I've not had a bad experience with Samsung never, if I had to choose I'd give it a very slight preference based on prior use.

    I doubt that you (or me) would be able to tell the difference between two identical machines, execution of memory with different CLs...

    I hope this helps.

  • Upgrade memory situation

    I have an R60 and hoping to upgrade memory RAM.
    I check in the BIOS and found I have 2 X 512
    What should I do?

    That's what Lenovo said:
    Memory
    PC2-5300 Non-parite (NP) at Double rate two (DDR2) technologies
    The use of 667 MHz memory DIMM is THEREFORE recommended for this system.
    Standard 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB memory
    Supports up to 3 GB maximum memory
    Recommended for extension memory is 2 GB PC2 - 4200 DDR2 533 MHz SO DIMM SDRAM 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667 MHz SO DIMM.

    That put me in a strange situation
    Which is better:
    (A) 2Gig of PC2-5300 or
    (B) 2.5Gig of PC2-4200 + 512 MB PC2 2Gig or
    (C) ignore Lenovo and get 3Gig of PC2-5300

    What is my best choice

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forum!

    If you want to get the most out of your machine, get 3 GB PC5300, since PC4200-2 will be slowing down your system which is capable of running at speeds PC5300.

    I hope this helps.

  • 6510 b upgrade memory is not recognized

    I just bought an upgrade memory 4G for my 6510 b, which currently has 512 MB, but no matter what combination I install memory, my laptop does not recognize him.

    Based on the specification of the laptop, this is the correct specification, DDR2 667 MHZ PC2 5300 2 x 2 GB SODIMM.

    When I install the new memory on its own (a stick or both) the machine will not start.

    When I install or the other of the 2G stick with the stick of 512 MB (in each slot) machine starts, but does recognize that the 512 MB.

    The stick of 512 MB is a lower speed, PC2-4200 DDR2-% 533, but I don't see what is the cause.

    For me, it was mentioned the memory of some (less known) manufacturers will not be recognized by HP/Compaq machines. This could be the reason? , I bought this, Web, of Koybe Inc., CA, USA.

    Is there something I need to do to get my laptop to recognize the memory or should I return it as inconsistent.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, there is a version update of the BIOS out there, but I don't see anything in the revision history who does act of memory.  If you have another laptop you could see if the memory works in this machine that you may have just gotten a bad pair, or it can be the cheap good memory that is the question.  Generally, you want to stick with the brand like Kingston or PNY memory, they have a great reputation.

  • Upgrade memory for Dimension 5150/E510

    Apparently I wasn't paying attention when I bought my PC two years ago and only has 512 MB of memory.  I bought 2 GB of memory, what will happen today.  As I've never upgraded memory before, although I hear it's easy, I wanted to know if there is anything specific, I need to know before you even start?  Also, I have to remove the 512 MB first, or can / should I just add the 2 GB memory?  Thank you very much!
