my computer isnt finding my memory sticks i have just the harddrive memory which makes my computer very slow. and cant do much with it that way since my running programs takes up most of the space on my hard drive. is there any thing i can do to find out what i need to do to get it to find my memory sticks?

any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

You may have put in th wrong type of RAM in to you computer, though i fits into the slot it won't do anything

the one stick i have in there is the same one that it came with so that is what i am having trouble figuring out why it isnt even finding that one and the other is one that i just installed. could it possibly be anything else since the one was in the computer already do i have to go in and have it find them since i just upgraded windows? (from 98 to 2000 pro) i know i had to with some of my other hardware.

Can you tell us about your motherboard and memory (brand, model....)?

Sometimes you have to pair up ram so they will work. Is the ram you installed the same as the one thats in the computer?

wait are you saying you dont have ANY ram currently working on your computer? you HAVE to have ram to get it to work correct? if im not mistaken you cant run solely off the harddrive. maybe im retarded lol. either way, you should post the spec of your ram and motherboard on here. incompatible ram should be the only problem you have. otherwise ur ram is fried lol, which would suck. POST SPECS!! DD

you must have ram to boot into an operating system

thats what i thought. ok, well either way hopefully those specs get posted so that we can make a decision about compatability
