Phoebus Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I recently purchased a model "VS512MB400" stick of RAM (Corsair 'ValueSelect' 512 Mb PC 3200 (DDR 400) 184-Pin DDR DIMM). I stuck it into my system along side my existing stick of 512 (same, PC 3200, DDR 400). I then closed the case, plugged everything back in, and hit the power button. All I get is a constant HDD activity light. No video feed to the monitor, no POSTing, no chirps - just power, fans, and HDD activity LED. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

CMC_SAVAGE Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I stuck it into my system along side my existing stick of 512 Unless your existing module is the same as what you just put in, they probably won't wok together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebus Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 How much of a certainty is that "probably?" I've done several additions of RAM to my assorted computers in the past with no difficulties such as this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 1, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 1, 2005 You are welcome to try anything you like, but with AMD 64 based systems the memory controller is in the CPU and all of the modules should be exactly matched. This is a limitation of the memory controller and you may get lucky mixing memory but there is no way to give you any type of guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
