Shaun Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Probably a memory density problem, so incompatible. Edit: Also, just looked at the image, putting two different speed sticks of RAM in a PC is just asking for problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 what mobo do u have? it might be that... or, it might be because altho they both claim 133mhz, the CAS are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Does the graphic card share memory with the ram? Chekc the bios and see if its set to use a certain amount of ram for the video. My pc uses the ram for the graphics, so when I right click mycomputer and get the properties, I only see the available ram left over after the graphics card has used the rest. EX: 512 ram, 256 set for GPU will only show 256 ram available to the pc under system properties. Or you just have bad memory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
