have 4 sticks of ram
2x512 DDR400
2x1 DDR400
When I popped in the pieces initially bio confirmed 3gigs of ram. A few hours later I Rebooted the computer and bios only detected 2gigs.
fwiw - The 2x512 are in the same channel as is the case for the 2x1gig. The computer used to boot fine into windows.
I just noticed that after booting bios, it the computer will
2x1gig boot into windows and the heat sync (CPU fan) stops spinning. (I immediately shut the comupter off to prevent damage).
or
2x1gig + 2x512megs and the computer freezes during bios after displaying 3gigs of ram.
I took out the 2x512 in an effot to boot without the additional ram, success. I've tried adding the 2x512 and it freezes during bios. Additinoally, I've noticed that my heat sync stops working five seconds after the bios loads (without 2x512) and I immediately shutdown manually. Is that normal? Where should I begin?
