Memory Upgrade Failure to ASUS A7V266-E

[Gooze]

Hi,

I hope somebody can help me, cause i'm getting desperate! :monkey:

To my ASUS A7V266-E (memory spec PC1600-PC2100) I have 2 x 128 mb DDR memory, and i have now tried 2 new memory (PC 2100 & PC 2700) upgrades without success.

* The computer recognized the PC2700, but the programmes crashed and the computer restarted automaticly.
* With the PC2100 the bios or windows wouldn't start at all!

I tried to relocate the sticks, also the new ones alone, no difference.

Can anyone give me an idea why i'm not able to upgrade my memory?

thanks,
Regards/ Mårten, Sweden.

Visit the Crucial site and run their online test...this will tell you exactly which type of RAM that machine requires.

Thanks for the answer, but now i had success finally! The third memory-product i tried worked! Don't ask me why, but it did.

A7v266-e Mb

Goose:
I have just tried an upgrade on my ram with a couple of 333 ddr instead
of 266 ddr. Now I cant seem to get Bank-1 and Bank-2 to work.
I have put one 128k into Bank-3 and my machine works. But
still not sure what has happened. I cant seem to get the other
bank 1 and bank 2 to work.
Any ideas

Upgrading DDR Ram

Hi Goose:
My machine did the same thing started to boot and then
reboot unable to load the OS.
I think I spread the contacts on Bank 1 and 2 now I cant
get a good connection. OOps
Note: Dont wiggle your RAM stick after there inserted into the
appropiate socket.
Any suggestions on a good motherboard. Iam an AMD user.
Thought I would try a duel core 64.

Dont ever trust a skinny cook!
