RAM troubles...

[raskal00]

Hi,
Recently i bought a Transend 512Mb DDR RAM @ 400 Mhz from my vendor and added it to my existing Hynix 512Mb DDR PC266 (Thats what the label said)

Now i am having regular Blue Screen Of Deaths, Is my new Ram compatible with my old one? or is there some other issues, should i return it back to my vendor??

THANX IN ADVANCE

Use only your old RAM first
Boot the PC
After installing the software, run the test
This will show you what Model of RAM are you using along with all the technical details

Compare this with the new RAM
Post the results

Transcend Ram





I m using these 2 rams in Dual Channel mode, Is that the problem??

[techtronic]

Buddy,your old Hynix RAM has a speed of 133 Mhz but your New Transcend has a speed of 200 Mhz

I had this problem when I used PC 100 and PC 133 SD RAM

r they realy running in dual channel mode because as per me they should not. Btw run them in single channel mode

@techtronic
So you had this problem??, so what did u do?

@nishant_nms
Well it seems that i can boot my PC in dual chanel mode , but cannot sustain it for long time...

So should i go back to my vendor and Buy a second trancsend 512Mb DDR ram @ 400Mhz (thats what the label reads) and put both these new transcends in dual channel mode and
then will i be able to use the old hynix 512MB DDR Ram in the 3rd slot as single channel?
will that clear up the compatiblity problem..

[nishant_nms]

I just asked u to attch the sticks in adjacent slots do not leave empty slots between them

Dump the hynix... get another transcend 400MHz. Else the other option is go into the bios and check if there's a 266MHz (might be written 133 as well) divider. If so change the divider to 266 and also make the timings 3-3-3. I think that should fix the crashes.

Luckily one of my friends as planning to buy PC 133, I sold it to him and bought PC 100
