fatattack 0 Posted November 20, 2001 Hi, I've noticed something weird: I don't know if it's accidental but I've had three occurences of the same problem. If I have installed XP and I change the Ram in that machine the system won't boot anymore and keeps telling me that this and thus driver or dll can't be found. If I plug the original RAM back in everything works fine. Now , the Ram is not malfunctioning, They're just bigger ones and supported types. Speed setting etc is all correct. As I said , I've noticed this three times. Anyone has a idea about this ? especially how it can be avoided ? Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted November 20, 2001 I have seen that exact same scenario in Win2K. The stick of RAM that I had worked fine with other systems, but didn't seem to like the motherboard (ASUS P3B-F, what's not to like? ) at all and would throw up those same errors. This particular stick of RAM was from Kingston, and works fine in other systems, just not that one. Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted November 20, 2001 While I haven't run into that same problem exactly, I had some ram that acted funny on one machine--lockups and soforth--but didn't have any issues in other machines. Sometimes ram may also not like the other ram you have= problems. Share this post Link to post
Shakedown 0 Posted November 20, 2001 I had a PC that when I installed an additional stick of 256MB (same manufacture: Crucial, speed, etc) the PC blue screened right off the bat. I decided to do a rebuild and rebuilt the PC with both sticks and it was fine from then on. Weirder things happen!!!!! Share this post Link to post
