okay so i just bought some new RAM. i had a 64 MB chip and a 128 MB chip in my computer previously. I just purchased a 256MB chip. Naturally, I took out the 64 MB chip and replaced it with the new one. When I plugged everything back into my computer and turned it on, the inside of my computer just starts beeping and nothing else happens. So I turned it off and tried putting back in the 64MB chip where it was before and it's still doing the beeping thing, and my computer won't load. What's going on here?
installing RAM on my desktop problem...
- Thread starter tmcksmith
- Start date
yeah i think that was the problem, one of the cards wasn't pushed in all the way. i'm on the computer now, so everything started up fine. do i have to do anything else? when i right click my computer it says -
Intel Pentium III Processor
797 MHz
384 MB of RAM
it says 384MB, so does that mean i did everything alright? is the computer reading the RAM okay?

Specs? What stuff do you have inside your computer?

Having more RAM, you can run more applications simutaneously.
