Computer beeping...

The writing on the heatspreader seems like an addon job:

the cl2. 5 is good for the price you're paying although pc2100 is a bit old. I dont recognize the hologram though

How does this look to you:

Does this closely match what you have installed now?

You want to match the ram speed and such that is in your system. Your motherboard has to support it.

do you mean that it beeps when you turn the computer on, if it does, thats normal and it should beep. If it beeps when your in the middle of using it, then maybe your dektop thinks its a laptop running out of power

lol, i wouldnt know why it would beep besides when u turn it on.

are you referring to the memory? If so, then you should try to look in your computer manual, or try the manufacturers website and see if it tells you there.

How old is your mb? if its less then a year old, it should support a gig, but im not sure. (my 3 year old comp supports about 768mb ram)

As Geoff5093 said you can start by looking in the manual but it may just be as easy to take the side off of your case and have a look at it. It should be with luck writting right on the stick of memory that is in your system already. The manual will tell you the different memory speeds it's compatible with but it's not going to tell you what you actualy have installed of course ;-) but since you've gotten it built by someone it's very possible that it's written on some documention that you recieved when you recieved the machine. Anyhow rip er open if in doubt and check out the stick that's already installed.

Your computer may be over heating! If this is so get a better cooling unit. If you want to check the temp get a utility from the board vender.
