There's probably more people who could help with my PC problems. I
insert a KVR333X64C25/512 in the second slot of my eSys ePC Celeron-D
315 and it doesn't boot. Please advice.
Um, take it back out?
Does the computer boot with only the new module (in either slot)?
Does the computer POST? If so then you should be able to get into the
BIOS setup, where you should check whether the system recognizes the RAM
at all (if not, see first suggestion). Choosing the option to reset the
BIOS to default settings may help, but sometimes all it takes is to get
into BIOS setup once in the first place, and then the computer sorts it out.
Does the first slot also have a 512MB module? Some motherboards have
odd restrictions about the combinations of module sizes that are
allowed, or the order that the slots must be filled if the modules are
dissimilar.
Some RAM is simply incompatible with some system boards, despite having
the correct packaging for plugging it in. If you can determine the
motherboard make and model (it may be stenciled somewhere on the board)
then you may be able to find a copy of its manual on line. Referring to
that would be much better than diddling around trying random things.
