New ram won't let computer boot..HP WX6000

mvvette97 · 09-17-2008, 03:41 AM

I bout some more ram for my hp computer and after I installed it the computer won't boot or even power up the monitor. The stock ram has these numbers on it.

Micron 512mb DDR, 266, ECC, REG, PC2100R

The new I bought has these numbers

Micron 1GB DDR, 266, ECC, REG, PC2100R

I don't see why this won't work. Anybody have any idea? Here is the link to the ram I bought.

Wow, what are you running, a server??? if yes, how many sticks did you have before?

I am currently running 2GB of ram but I bought these and was going to upgrade to 4gb. The computer is an HP XW6000 with dual 3.06 GHZ processor

wow, that is a nice comp. anyway it seems like it should run. i dont see why its not working

that's what I was thinking too but it just acts like it's not compatable. I put the 4 512s back in and it works fine. I noticed when I had them in and tried to boot the computer the ram sticks seemed to heat up fast. My originals never do get hot to the touch.

does it beep or any lights flash or something?

mvvette97 · 09-17-2008, 08:47 AM

Yes it will beep twice and the lights will flash quickly.
