janalyssa Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 After installing corsair memory VS1gb333 1GB PC2700 on my HP desktop, I kept getting blue screen. What should I do now. Is it a matter of compatability? I have a HP Pavilion a800n. Thanks and let me know if you need more info from me. Janet Updates: I saw a post that was quite similar to mine. Basically, one way to fix it is to remove all rams, shut of the power and install only the new corsair ram. I did that and I think it works. However, the momory from my computer porperties is only showing 960 MB ram and not 1 gb ( I bought a 1 gb ram ). I read somehitng about checking and editing the "bios"...do I have to do that? How do I know if my system is stable? I guess if the bue screen doesn't reoccur it would mean my system is stable right? How else can I test my system? Lastly should I insert my old ram back ( the one I took out )? Will the same thing happen again i.e the screen go blank on me? Thanks for you help.

Wired Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Guaranteed-Compatible Memory for your Hewlett-Packard Pavilion A800n Compatible. 1024 MB - 960 MB = 64 MB, which is probably for onboard video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
