Hi I am not sure if in right section or not but basically I have DELL Precison T 7500 computer. It was purchased in Sept 09 so its fairly new. The memory began to fail the other day. Getting the beeps and Dimm error messages so I called dell. They sent me two new sticks of memory, I replaced and it was still beeping so then I called again, this time I need a new mother board!!.
Then they sent tech not offense to him but he didn't seem to know how to fix computers, he installed the new board turned it on memory failure again in Dimm 3 he took stick out then turned computer back on and got another Dimm error, he said that is because he took the stick out. But then after he left I started moving sticks around and kept getting errors.
Then the keyboard stopped working, so he ordered me another then left.
Well I got a keyboard from the other room that I know works and that didn't work either so now I know its not the keyboard but that he didn't put the computer back together right!!
So now my question is first with XP running on this computer how much memory should I have and in what slots to make it run right? Because I have been hearing that on XP you cant have to much memory it won't recognize it.
Secondly is there a diagram I can get of a properly configured computer (maybe even mine) on the inside where hardware should be and what it should look like? Does anyone know what he may have did wrong with installation to make the keyboard not light up?
I know its lots of questions but I appreciate!
