New ram installed computer wont start
Thread Solved |
I have a HP pavillion 512 @ my work I installed new ram yesterday now it wont do anything. I even took out the new and put the old back in, but it will not start. I can hear the fan running it beeps once then the amber light comes on the monitor like its gone in sleep mode. What did I do wrong and how can it be fixed.

hmm...did you go to Add Hardware, in the control panel? That could help you out. If it still is messed up, and your computer isnt working, try doing system restore, while your old memory is installed. Select a date when it was working fine. Then try re-installing the memory, step by step. hope i helped

I did unplug it what happened was I actually installed more ram about 2 months ago but realized the computer didnt take it. So I figured that I maybe it wasnt in all the way so all I did was take it out and reinstall it with the old ram in the computer. Should have taken it to Best Buy to get it done just didnt realize this many problems were possible. Is there any thing I can do to fix this or should I just call the compny computer guy. Just didnt want to look like a moron if there was a simple fix.

I've had this before, you will most likly need to clear the cmos, so do the battery thing. but you may have nvram cmos in which case you will need to clear this while the machine is on. check out the mobo manuel for your pc for instruction on how to do this. once cleared it should boot up fine.
