If you find out the settings of both sticks of ram enter the higher amount of voltage and the higher ram timings it might work.Quote from: TehGerg on June 28, 2007, 10:17:06 AM This might be a shot in the dark but some RAM doesn't play nice together because they like to have different voltages and timings.

Ok so i have a home built PC atm, everything works great etc accept when i come to upgrade the RAM. Currently i have a 512MB Stick in there specs of it are:

PC2700
333Mhz
184pin DIMM (64x64)
Manufacturer: the TECH GUYS (bought from PC World)

My second stick wich i just bought of, of ebay and know that its working due to trying it in my brothers PC is again another 512MB Stick, specs again are:

PC2700
333Mhz
184pin DIMM (64x64)
Manufacturer: Samsung

Now each of them work fine on there own, but when i put them togethor trying to make it up too 1GB it boots fine no Beep Code errors but i get a really colourfull screen... as in you know when the TV Stations go offline? and you get all them colours come up its kinda like that ill try get a picture taken and update.

Something that could be causeing this is my on-board GFX Card as it does use some of the RAM.

Anyone who knows how to fix this please do reply, i have tried ENTERING the BIOS and changing some settings on the whole GFX Issue but to no avail...

Heres the whole computer specs if it helps:

Motherboard: ABIT NF-95
OnBoard GFX: Integrated NVIDIA® GeForce® 6100 controllers provides enthusiast-class GeForce® 6 graphics features
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3700+
RAM(the problem): 512MB, (want 1GB)

Can't think of anything else that would cause an issue? other than whats above...

BTW As much as i want to upgrade the GFX Card i really can't afford it and would apreciate any answers that would mean i could keep my current config :p

Thanks for all replys
