Hi,
One of my PC had SRAM installed, nothing wrong with em, works fine. But the total RAM is only 700 or something.
So i bought 2 DRAM (512mb each) and took out the old SRAM. Installed the new DRAM's, once finished I tried to start the computer, but the computer wont power up. It power ups for a second and than turns off by itself.
So i m assuming that my computer wont run DRAM's? is there a way i can make my computer accept DRAM?
My comp specs:
Medion MD1773
Pentium 4
Let me know..
cheers :D
Do they even fit into the same slots? Or did you have to use a hammer?
no they fit fine.... :)Quote:

:blink: man how can u insert a ddr ram in a sdram slot?????????ya need to get ur mobo changed if it don't support ddr ram
Are you completely sure they are in properly? I have found that they can appear to be snug even if they are not in properly but you have to make sure that the clips are secure.
First of all, you're not using sram and dram, it's sdram and ddr sdram.
Yes these is a difference.
Now, does your computer have 2 slots for sdram and two for ddr ram? Or did you somehow get a ddr stick into an sdram slot? :blink:
Also if it does have 2 of each, make sure you dont have a mix of sdram and ddr..you can only use 1 type at a time.
Now could you tell us exactly what memory you bought?

That motherboard only supports ddr so you never had sdram in it.
Well.Quote:
