Solve : Bad Ram Slot??? |
|
Answer» So, the other day I was on my computer and it shut off. I tried booting it back up with no success. I have the computer taken apart, and have come to the CONCLUSION that it may be a bad ram slot. The computer works with one stick of ram in the top slot, but if I try anymore than one it won't boot up when it tries to start windows up. Help? RAM slots don't go bad for no reason, i.e. they just don't fail, unless you have DAMAGED them by attempting to insert a module backwards. Try testing the RAM while it's in the top slot only. http://www.memtest.org/Quote from: blakehinton00 on September 29, 2011, 10:30:46 AM The computer works with one stick of ram in the top slot -.-Quote from: blakehinton00 on September 29, 2011, 11:52:23 AM -.- He means while you have the single stick in, run memtest. Then put the other stick in the top slot and run memtest again. Meh, I ran a memory test through the start up diagnostic. It didn't find anything. My computer is now running with RAM in the top and bottom slot. Quote from: blakehinton00 on September 29, 2011, 12:21:15 PM Meh, I ran a memory test through the start up diagnostic.

RAM confuses me... :LHaha, nah they are in right. It's running, but slowly. It will only operate with 2 out of the 4 sticks of ram. :/Quote from: blakehinton00 on September 29, 2011, 01:09:00 PM Haha, nah they are in right. It's running, but slowly.
