Spritehawk Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hi. I installed a second memory module into my PC and it just isn't being detected. I have checked on startup and using Crucial's system scan. These show my existing memory and nothing else. I have tried the module in 2 different slots, but it is as if it doesn't exist! The second module is the same as the original - VS 512 DDR PC3200. I have updated the BIOS since installing the stick, but still no joy. The BIOS should be autodetecting the memory, but it is not seeing it. Everything else seems ok on the PC - it's just the missing memory! My motherboard is a Gigabyte K8VT800 Pro. Thanks in advance for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritehawk Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Okay. I have replaced original module with new module and this works. Not the module itself at fault, then. They still won't work together though. What is different between them? I thought I had 2 sticks of the same memory. The labels on them read: Original: VS512MB400C3 820-0514095-0-326177 New: VS512MB400 819-0547051-0-777145 Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
