Try reseating the ram and try again.

If that doesn't work, post the exact RAM model.

I really hate Intel mobos...

First, take off the caps and calm down.

Second, does the other ram still work in the system?

If it does, the memory is probably bad. Put one in at a time in the first slot to see which one is bad.

no ,,the previous ram dont work anymore..i tried putting them one at a time ..no activity.is my motherboard dead?i saw only green light in my mobos.fans unning .that is all.thanks for your help.

Reply to geroxee

Then yes, it sounds like the mobo is probably no good.

All of your ram is probably good then.

The graphics might not be good either which is why your getting no beeps and no activity. Are you using the onboard graphics?

yes i am using on borad graphics?but why no code beeps ?

Reply to geroxee

Well, it happens and I really don't want to be the person to tell you this, but if you didn't change nothing else then it just broke is all.

Are you using the onboard graphics?

Edit: Then your mobo just went bad is all. No beeps because it's probably just totally broken.

how can i test my mobos if it is broken?and how about my processor?i am planning to change my mobos later.

Reply to geroxee

Well, if you didn't change nothing then it's obviously broken.

Although, try resetting the bios to make sure that the new ram didn't mess anything up, should be a little lithium battery on the mobo, unplug the power supply then take the battery out for about a min, put it back, plug the comp back in, then put the original ram back in and then try again.

If that doesn't work, you probably need a new mobo replacement. I'm going to assume that your cpu and everything else is fine.

is it possible that my new memory can damaged my mobos?can u explain ,my pc is less than a year old?

Reply to geroxee

A lot of things could have happened while you changed the memory. Probably need a replacement but the last thing you could do is clear the bios and that's about it.

The fact that there are no beeps means the mobo is unresponsive and probably not working properly. Try boot with no memory, if you get no beeps then it definintely is the mobo.

i remove then put back battery it started for awhile then it stops?what is wrong w my pc?

Reply to geroxee

What do you mean by "it started for a while?"

Did you get anything to post on the screen?

You need to take the time to communicate more information and be more clear.

1) Why did you change power supplies? How do you know the "new" one works?

2) Put the old psu back (unless you are absolutely certain it is broken) and use one stick of your new 1GB memory, clear CMOS, load defaults, edit them and save. Then boot up. Tell us what happens.

Reply to Twoboxer

Maybe the RAM is set to AUTO for all the timings, and the sticks have different timings. This can cause boot up hangs. Clear the BIOS, as suggested by others, and manually set the RAM speed and timings to relatively high settings. Please list the actual model of all sticks of RAM, and we can give you some ideas to use for the timings.
