Hi all
I have just built a system for my daughter to join her brothers in their minecraft playing. The specs for the system are:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500@2.93GHz
Mainboard: Dell Inc. 0N826N
Memory: THIS IS THE PROBLEM POINT
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT610
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
The issue I am having is when I use 4GB of ram (4x1GB chips) it is fine and the PC works.
However, when I slot in 4x2GB chips (for 8GB RAM) the system will not function. I have checked the specs of the Mainboard and it says that the chips should work based on the specifications of the chips allowed.
The chips I want to install are: 4 x 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHz NON EEC LD UNBUFFERED.
The chips I have in are: 2 x 1GB PC2-6400 DDR2 400MHz and 2 x 1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 333MHz
I can't work out why its working with the lower RAM but Dell's website says it should work fine with the higher RAM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
