I bought some new ram, I currently have two sticks of 512MB (1GB) and I just bought 2GB (1gbx2). I took my old memory out and put the new ones in. Then I turned on the computer, it lights up and beeps. And that's all, it won't fully start. Emachines tech help is crap, so I'm relying on this.
Someone told me to try changing my memory voltage to 2.5v, but a emachines tech person told me there is no option for me to change my memory voltage.
Heres my motherboard specs. (I think)
Heres my current RAM specs
And then, heres the RAM I bought: 2GB 2 X 1GB PC2700 RAM 1 GB PC 2700 2100 MEMORY 184PIN - (eBay item 150148878957 end time Aug-11-07 00:04:22 PDT
So does anyone know why it's not working?
