My computer constantly restarts after I install new ram. My specs are:
Dell Precision 380
Intel Pentium D 935 @ 3.2GHz, 4MB L2 Cache
4GB DDR2 SODIMM (recently upgraded) @ 667MHz, unbuffered, non-ECC
ATI Radeon HD4830 @ 512MB GDDR3
400GB SATA HDD @ 5400 RPM
Windows XP/7 dual boot
Dynex 520w Power
I had 4x512mb DDR2 ECC RAM before and upgraded to 2x2GB DDR2 SODIMM for performance upgrade. The problem is that my computer constantly restarts. The first time I installed the RAM I got to boot into windows but my color and resolution was messed up. I haven't been able to boot into windows either xp or 7. I updated my graphics driver and BIOS from A07 to A09 and still no change. Some people are saying to change the RAM voltage but I don't know how. My BIOS doesn't have such a feature or option.
PLEASE I need help, purchased these 2 sticks for $35. I don't want the feeling that I got ripped off or scammed. Many thanks!
