Thanks in advance for any help here.
I have a Gateway dx4840 with an H57h-AM2 motherboard that had 6GB of DDR3 RAM that I attempted to upgrade to 16GB. I confirmed with the manual that the motherboard was able to take 16GB in 4x4GB configuration (Manual was found online, so can't be 100% sure it is correct). I swapped the RAM out to the new RAM and tried to boot with no success, I would get the gateway screen and nothing further. Would not go into setup/bios with F12. Swapped old RAM back in and worked fine.
I then tried removing old RAM, resetting CMOS and then installed new RAM and got the same results, gateway screen and nothing further. I swapped the old RAM back in and now I get a black screen, one beep from the computer, everything powers up, then two beeps and everything goes idle. Put new RAM back in and I get the Gateway screen again, but no setup/BIOS when pressing F12.
Im at a loss for what to try next.
Specs
Gateway FX4840
H57H-AM2 Motheboard
Intel I5
EVGA 750TI SC 2GB
300W PSU
OLD ram - 6GB Samsung DDR3, 2 Modules 2GB, 2 Modules 1GB
NEW ram - 16GB Fury HyperX DDR3, 4x4GB Modules
Thanks again for any help
