Base 64K Memory Failure
Hi there,
This is my first post on TechSpot. I hope that I can offer some good advice as well as request it. :0)
Right now though, I am in a spot of bother. :0)
Today, I went to a clients house to fix his computer. Everything was fine, I just had to install a new ram. So, ahead I went, but the card would not fit so I forced it a little. Later I realised I had forced a SDR Ram into A DDR Slot. Not good, I know. Then, I took it out so that I was back to the original configuration.
Now the computer won't even boot onto the A: Drive or even get as far as display the BIOS. It just keep emitting a beep noise.
Arrrgggghhhh!!!! :0)
My questions is ... would the above result in a fried motherboard or a fried ram card? I was going to buy a new DDR tommorrow and hopefully just swap it over, but I can't think of any logical reason that the existing one won't work.
Any or all info on the subject would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
