Answer» Hello guys.Im new in this forum and i found it interesting to visit and i learn something in here. But i was looking at some of the topics and unfortunately, i wasn;t able to find it.
My problem is that my computer was down and it beeps so long and i am suspecting that there is something wrong with the memory.
I tried pulling out the RAM and clean it by brushing the slot cause it is also dirty as well as well as the other slot. When i put it back, it still beeps long as it seems like it does not detect the memory. I have one extra RAM and it is DDR184.Is it the same at pc133?
Could anybody help me out with this thing?pleeeeaaaaasssssssseeeeeee.... You need to be very careful when cleaning you motherboard. Static electricity can fry your computer. Make sure you are GROUNDED when you touch the cicuit boards. Keep one arm on the metal frame the WHOLE time you are working in there. The best way to clean it out is by using a can of compressed air.
That beeping may be your RAM but it could be caused by other things as well. Place on stick back in and then reseat you video card.I already pull out the video to check if it the video card that causes it to beep but still the same. Will be ok to replace it with any other DDR memory?You should be using a can of compressed air to clean out those slots...available at any PC store.
What happened prior to this ? ? Is this RAM different than what was in the machine prior to this ? ?
To determine what RAM will work in that machine travel to Crucial.com and enter your machine info...you don't have to buy it there but it will give you the info you need.
There are a lot of types/speeds of RAM and you can't just use anything in most machines...Prior to this RAM, it was ok. This was started when i bring to our second house.and I carry it inside our van. When i turned it on, that's the error already.
There was no other RAM prior to that RAM inside that machine.Quote from: sidi_sphinx1908 on November 03, 2008, 07:13:21 PM Prior to this RAM, it was ok. This was started when i bring to our second house.and I carry it inside our van. When i turned it on, that's the error already.

This tells me that it's not SEATED properly...This tells me that it's not seated properly...
What do you MEAN by not seated properly?Is there something wrong with the board?It's possible it's not put on the board properly.
Try removing it and then reinserting it.I've done it but still it didn't work out.There is a clip on each end of the RAM slots...push them outwards to release the RAM. When inserting the RAM both of those clips should "click" into place if done properly.i've tried it already even if i pull it out and back it in, still nothing.Is the processor will be affected by this error?If it's the wrong RAM it will just continue to cause havoc...did you visit Crucial as suggested above ? ?
