I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to upgrading computers but I have confidence in my ability. My computer had 512mb RAM and wanted to upgrade. First, heres some basic info on my computer.
p4-2.53mhz cpu
Asus P4S8X MB
SIS 648 chipset
Now, everything I've read says my configuration will support up to 3gb low density pc2700 DDR RAM. So I come across a good deal on 2x1gb pc2700 DDR RAM thats low density and snatch it up.
Installed the RAM and computer says one time "cpu is overclocked" then continually repeats "computer has a memory problem".
Every 2nd time I try to boot it up it brings me to the BIOS but I'm not knowledgable in what to change. One idea I have is this computer is a few years old and might need to update the bios somehow?
I put the old 512 chip back in and thats how I made it back here :mrgreen:
I'd greatly appreciate any help!
