yea,

I bought more RAM (2GB) some weeks ago.
but I was going to put it in my pc and the next problem is:

I had already 1GB ram (2X 512mb) (I have 2 open slots)
just i was going to put my 2 sticks of 1GB, it was done
I thought Yea i have 3GB Ram
but.......
when I start my pc.....WTF he didnt works....he made a piep,piep... it doesnt stop damn...
just I removed my 2 sticks of 512mb and I put only my 2 sticks of 1GB and he starts normal
when I try to put 2x 1GB + 1 Stick 512 he starts normal atm....
but when i try to put the next 512mb stick he doesnt start up
I have tried evey combination ,of course also all slots ,of sticks but it doesnt work when i try to install 2x 1GB + 2X 512mb
I have already checked my slots and all sticks.....

What is the problem?

Either one of your RAM slots is fucked or one of yer 512MB stick doesn't like the other ones

helps if the ram is matching or else the other sticks will run at the same settings as the slowest ones, either that or they won't work together.

don't buy hardware without doing some research because more often than not you'll get fucked
