first of all i wanna say hello, i've been a long time reader but first time poster :)
my biggest problem is that the Ram i have bought seem to not be compatible with my old rams. I have a winfast foxconn motherboard with 4 slots for DDR2 and in the manual it says that i can get to a max of 8gb. I have 2X1gb DDR2 667 mhz Elixir. i've bought 2X512 DDR2 667 mhz Syncon. if i put them all together my pc wont boot, i cant even get so far as accesing Bios. I've also tested my ram with 2X512 DDR2 667 mhz Adata. same problem. if i put them separately they all work fine so neither of the Ram's are damaged. i cant find the exact model of my motherboard and in Everest it tells me Motherboard ID 08/28/2006-C51MCP51-6A61HFKDC-00 any ideea of what the problem might be would be apreciated. thank you |

Might be that you're using two different kinds of RAM. When you buy RAM, you should choose it like batteries: you cant put two different types of batteries in the same remote. What im saying is when you buy ram, buy it all from the same company.

Actually, there's probably an easy way to fix this.
What's likely happening is the new and old RAM use different voltages. If they aren't too dissimilar, you can crank up the voltage in the BIOS to match the one that requires more power.
