Hi all i recently had a new ASROCK P4i65G motherboard installed in my E machines 420 cos the old one blew.
The engineer fitted my old 256 mb memory stick into the board and though slow my PC works fine.
I just purchased from Novatech a RAM-21/1GB 266MHz 184Pin 1GB PC2100 DDR RAM DIMM 2.5V 2.1Gb for my PC, i removed the 256mb stick, inserted the new stick, and fired up the PC, nothing happened i only got a no signal sign on the monitor so i switched it all off, checked the stick was put in ok, and tried again, no joy.
Ithen tried the stick in the other slot, again it wouldnt boot up even, so i removed the new stick put my old one back in & it starts up just fine, i decided to try the new stick with the old one but though it started up its like the new memory was not there.
It seems others have had this trouble, i am at a loss why its happening, and dont know what to do, i wonder if the stick is faulty because according to the specs it should work, anyone got any ideas?
