Did you get the correct ram type?  Also I think you might have to adjust the voltages or something...

ive got the right ram and why would i need to change the voltage?

did you loosen the video card a bit when you were installing the ram?


-- Posted by lucaslove at 7:49 am on Oct. 20, 2008

no never touched it

are you sure that the ram you installed isn't compatible with a different date than your monitor is used to running with?

im sure the old ram card in there matches thhe new cards specs

The ram is probably screwed then, I suggest returning it.

The beeps are telling you something, count them, and read the MB manual for a diagnosis.
